Loyola Marymount University (LMU) is expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure through an extended partnership with ChargePoint, adding new charging stations while upgrading to the company’s next-generation software platform and preventive maintenance services.
The Los Angeles-based university said the expansion is aimed at meeting rising demand for reliable EV charging from students, faculty, staff and campus visitors, as electric vehicle adoption increases across Southern California.
As part of the upgrade, LMU is transitioning to the ChargePoint Platform, a flexible software system designed to improve station uptime and provide custom reporting and streamlined monitoring of charging assets. The platform reduces manual inputs while enabling more data-driven operational decisions, ChargePoint said.
“As EV utilization increases and transportation rapidly evolves, so does our campus,” said Ian McKeown, campus sustainability officer at Loyola Marymount University. “ChargePoint’s new software platform best enables LMU to serve its growing community of EV drivers through efficient monitoring, improved reporting and greater overall efficiency in maintaining a reliable EV charging network.”
In addition to the software upgrade, LMU will add ChargePoint’s Safeguard Care service, which provides scheduled on-site physical inspections of charging equipment. The preventive maintenance offering is intended to complement remote monitoring by identifying potential issues early and supporting consistent charger availability.
“ChargePoint delivers solutions that scale to meet the needs of any customer,” said Rick Wilmer, chief executive of ChargePoint. “Our hardware, software and services enable customers like LMU to deliver a reliable charging experience to their community.”
ChargePoint said its global network now includes more than 1.3 million public and private charging ports worldwide, spanning commercial, residential and institutional sites. The company has increasingly focused on integrated software and services to support large fleet and campus deployments.
