Connecting to Boston University in Chargepoint

You may notice that many of BU’s Charles River Campus EV charging stations do not appear on the Chargepoint app. This is because these stations are only for the BU community and are not open to the public.

To see all of the BU Charles River Campus’ EV stations on the app, you must set up a “Connection” to the “Boston University” group:

1. open the Chargepoint App on your device
2. press the “Account” button on the lower right
3. select CONNECTIONS
4. select BROWSE CONNECTIONS
5. enter the connection code SDwind (Why is that the code? Because our EV chargers are powered by South Dakota wind!)
6. select Members-Boston University
7. enter your BU ID number
8. agree to Chargepoint and BU TERMS AND CONDITIONS
9. submit request

Once these steps are completed, you will be able to see station statuses for all stations on campus. If you encounter any difficulty, please email transportation@bu.edu or call us at 617-353-2160.
