EV charging location
There are 16 FLO charging stations located in parking lot F on College Drive.
Use of EV stations requires pay-per-use through the FLO Mobile App and a TRU parking permit valid on the day the EV stall is in use.

Transportation
TRU has offered electric vehicle charging on the Kamloops campus for several years. To make this service easier to access for our university community, all EV charging stations are moving to a single, central location with a mobile-based, pay-per-use system.
FLO Mobile App
Use the FLO Mobile App to pay for EV charging on campus.
How to charge your electric vehicle on campus
To charge your electric vehicle on campus:
- You must have a valid parking permit for the EV stall in use, such as economy, general, premium or reserved. You can also purchase a daily permit using the SMRTpass QR code located in Lot F.
- Park in a FLO charging station for the duration needed to charge your vehicle. EV stations are not TRU parking stalls.
- Pay the hourly EV charging rate of $2 per hour using the FLO Mobile App.
- Do not unplug another vehicle.
- When you are done, neatly put the charging cord away so people do not trip over it or drive over it.
Parking permit requirements
A TRU parking permit valid on the day the EV stall is in use is required. This may be an economy, general, premium or reserved permit, or a daily permit purchased using the SMRTpass QR code located in Lot F.
EV charging enforcement
TRU fleet vehicles only will continue to use Tesla chargers in lots F and H.
With a uniform system across all EV stalls and easier validation of permits, both to park and to charge, patrollers will be able to offer enforcement for EV stall use and ensure charging is available to those with valid permits when needed.
Anyone parked at a charging station without charging, without displaying an EV permit or without a parking permit will be subject to ticketing.
