VUMC Parking and Transportation Services offers four Blink Network Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations.
The chargers are located in surface lots and are open to the public. Four EV chargers are located in Lot 113B at the corner of Pierce Avenue and 21st Avenue.
These stations are intended to be used as a “topping off” charge to help decrease range anxiety for patients, visitors, staff and people in the surrounding areas. Parking in these spots is limited to two hours in order to give access to as many users as possible. These chargers are operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
To use the Blink chargers users will need to register through the Blink Network and request an RFID card to activate the charging station. The Blink Network also has maps to other EV charging stations located throughout the country that can be accessed by web or by smartphones with the Blink Network mobile app.
