Your Benefits

What benefits do Triton Chargers get? 

With little extra effort, you can become a Triton Charger and anonymously help the research team learn about EV charging habits and preferences. The team will share those results with you as they unfold, and you’ll know that your experiences can help shape scholarship along with state and local policy. California is in the midst of a massive shift to vehicle electrification as part of the state’s efforts to cut emissions that cause global warming and local air pollution.

Triton Chargers get:

1. The best charging rates on campus. As of March 2024, that’s a 20% discount from the general rate.
2. Every month, you will be automatically entered into a drawing to win a $50 Visa gift cards—we will give away 2 per month.
3. The opportunity to submit entries to a $500 quarterly odometer raffle (during regular academic quarters). We draw three winners per quarter.
4. As part of Triton Chargers, you'll periodically get additional discounts and information about your charging options. We won’t spam you—one email per week, max, as we roll out these different information and incentive programs. 
5. You will be invited FIRST to participate in future studies. Don’t worry—you are never obligated to sign up.
6. The chance to contribute to research that will keep our EV charging network accessible, affordable and sustainable for all.

This research is part of a cluster of studies by UC San Diego scholars who are using the campus networks as a laboratory to learn how energy systems of the future may operate. Our research is sponsored by many sources, including EPRI, NSF, TotalEnergies, philanthropy to the Deep Decarbonization Initiative and other sources. 

Triton Chargers are part of a research protocol approved by the campus Institutional Review Board (IRB). Among other things, our IRB-approved approach includes strong protections for your data.
