University of Colorado Goes Electric.

By RJ Harrington, SVP of Business Development at National Car Charging

In the fall of 2022, CU Boulder kicked off their comprehensive Climate Action Plan and laid out a path for mitigating climate change by fully examining all campus operations and procurement with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving total operational carbon neutrality no later than 2050.

In addition to bringing electric fueling to their parking lots, the University’s Transportation Services team launched an aggressive electrification initiative from light to heavy duty vehicles just prior to the pandemic. Ten of fifty+ University’s Level-2 charging plugs are reserved specifically for this burgeoning campus fleet that is gradually shifting from fossil fuels to electricity.
