Charging - OU Visitors

There is one 7KW Chargemaster twin charging post in the Nottingham office car park for visitors to the OU to use to charge their electric vehicles. Please contact the Reception desk at Nottingham.

Visitors to the University can charge their electric vehicles but will need to request a charging card (and cable if required). The card / cable will be signed out to the visitor for the duration of the charge and must be returned to one of the above locations at the end of the charging period or when the visitor leaves.

To help us manage the charging slots it would be useful if you could email [email protected] to let us know the following:-

  • name of the visitor
  • date of arrival
  • the time of arrival
  • the estimated amount of time needed for charging
  • contact telephone number
  • name of the OU staff member hosting the visitor
  • car registration
  • car type

For any enquiries about the Electric Vehicle charging facilities contact [email protected]
