All Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) employees, guests, users, and visiting researchers can use the electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at Brookhaven Lab. There are two options: Level II charging stalls operated by ChargePoint, a third-party contractor, or Level I charging outlets managed by the Brookhaven Employees' Recreation Association (BERA).
