Electric Vehicles on Tufts Campuses
As part of Tufts’ efforts to electrify campus and transition to renewable energy, we are building infrastructure to support the increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) within the Tufts community.
EV Charging
The Medford/Somerville and Grafton campuses feature onsite EV chargers available for public use. These chargers can be used at no cost, though users must adhere to campus parking rules. Charging locations are listed below and can be viewed on Tufts Eco Map.
Time limit: Signage specifies that EV charging spaces are for use “only while charging.” Tufts’ official policy is that vehicles should be moved within one hour after charging is complete. If you notice a vehicle parked in an EV charging space that does not meet this criteria, please reach out to parking@tufts.edu with that vehicle’s information.

EV Infrastructure Expansion
Tufts is actively working to enhance and incentivize EV use on campus. Transportation Services and the Office of Sustainability are working with an electric vehicle consultant and engaging Tufts students in engineering classes to help plan for expansion. Feedback from users within the Tufts community is invaluable as we set policy and plan for further investment in charging infrastructure. Please reach out to sustanabilityoffice@tufts.edu with concerns or questions.
