    1. Sign up for ChargePoint or log in to your account in the app.
    2. To request to connect to the place where you want to charge, open the main menu, then click “Account.”
    3. Click “Connections.”
    4. Tap the “Browse Connections” button; type and search for the keyword: evcsyale.
    5. Enter required information, accept terms and conditions, and click Submit Request.
    6. You will receive an email notification that your request was approved.

    7. Once you’re approved, you’ll be able to start a charge and have visibility to university stations on campus in the ChargePoint mobile app.

Users should be considerate of the needs of fellow employees and move their vehicle to another parking spot once their vehicle is fully charged.
