Power-Up with Peace of Mind!
RNO has two electric vehicle charging stations located in our parking garages:
- Short-Term Parking: The charging station is located near the south-central end of the first floor.
- Long-Term Parking: The charging station is located at the southwest corner on the third floor.
There is no fee to use these stations, but regular parking rates apply once you exit the garage. The charging stations are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Our Level I chargers deliver the same electric current as a standard household plug (115V) and provide a slower, steadier charge for electric vehicles. Please check with your car manufacturer on the type of charger you need before plugging in.
