Penn State Health has recently installed electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at three of its hospitals to accommodate patients, visitors, employees, and students who drive electric vehicles. Hampden Medical Center is one of the hospitals with EV charging stations, boasting a total of eight charging stations located in different areas of the hospital premises. These include four stations in the Employee Lot behind the hospital, two in the Main Visitors Lot, and two in the Emergency Department Lot. Lancaster Medical Center also has 16 charging stations scattered across its grounds, with varying charging fee structures – the first four hours are free, after which a fee of $2 per hour is applied. Milton S. Hershey Medical Center offers four charging stations located in the Westview Parking Garage near the University Conference Center on the first floor.
To facilitate payment for these charging services, customers can use tap-to-pay credit or debit cards or digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay. Cash payments or non-contactless credit cards are not accepted on-site. ChargePoint requires users to enter a payment method during the app setup process. For assistance with charging or any issues, customers can contact ChargePoint Customer Support at 1-888-758-4389.
Charging your vehicle at these stations can be done in three ways – either by tapping your phone on the station while signed in to the ChargePoint app, tapping your ChargePoint card on the station, or tapping the “Start Charge” button on the station details page of your mobile app. Penn State Health plans to evaluate further opportunities to install additional electric vehicle charging stations across its health system in the future.
