University of Notre Dame Adds EV Network
The University of Notre Dame is building a new electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for use by its students, faculty, staff and maintenance fleet.
The project will enable Notre Dame to meet the growing demand for EV charging across its campus and increase progress toward its goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050.
The EV charging network will be built by Eaton, a power management company.
“The updated chargers and additional software will offer data to help us more fully understand use and demand for EV charging on campus,” said Geory Kurtzhals, Senior Director of Sustainability at Notre Dame in a statement. “The insight offered can better inform decisions as we move forward.”
Eaton is providing its Green Motion Building chargers to help the university offer reliable EV charging at its campus utility and maintenance buildings, commuter and faculty parking lots, an administrative building, bookstore and art museum.
The charging stations can be monitored and optimized using Eaton’s Charging Network Manager software, which is included with the chargers. The software helps streamline installation and enables Notre Dame to remotely oversee its charging stations, manage access control and monetization, and reduce costs with load management from a single, intuitive dashboard.
