Universities Turn Campuses into Living Labs for EV Charging
Universities are transforming campuses into living labs for electric vehicle charging, combining research, student services and real-world testing. These campus projects allow Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to trial new hardware, software and business models at scale while benefiting from a controlled environment.
What Universities Offer
Real-world testing: Pilot new chargers, payment flows and load-management strategies with campus fleets and student volunteers.
Data partnerships: Academic research teams analyse performance and user behaviour to refine deployments.
Community uptake: Staff, students and visitors accelerate utilisation and provide continuous feedback.
For CPOs, campus living labs lower deployment risk and shorten development cycles. Click&Plug’s API integrations and white-label solutions make it easy to onboard university sites and iterate rapidly.
