The installation of the EV charging stations is part of a broader effort, led by the UFV Office of Sustainability, to reduce GHG emissions and promote leadership in sustainable practices across all areas of the University. Currently, there are eight Level 2 EV charging stations and one DC Fast Charger available for use across Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses.
With UFV’s current EV charging stations, 100MWh of electricity are being used to charge electric vehicles on campus annually. This means that the UFV community is avoiding 100,000kg of CO2 each year by having drivers use EVs over gas-powered vehicles. It would require one year for 117 acres of forest to capture the same amount of greenhouse gas!
The campus shuttle bus service is managed by the UFV Student Union Society (SUS), with some financial support from UFV. The buses transport students between the Chilliwack and Abbotsford campuses, with some buses being wheelchair accessible.
