EV Charging in Ann Arbor & Washtenaw County

A hundred thousand people materialize in Ann Arbor on football Saturdays, and a steady year-round current of campus visits, conferences, and restaurant trips fills the weeks between. It is the definition of a non-vacation destination: short, dense, parking-constrained visits.

The EV answer is the city’s garage network — downtown structures carry Level 2 by the dozen, so the move is to park once where you’ll spend the visit and walk. On game days, charge at the garage or your hotel, not near the stadium.

When to go: Home-game Saturdays (September–November) are their own weather system — garages fill by mid-morning. Move-in week and graduation do the same in miniature.

Why people come here

  • The Big House — the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere, 107,000+ on football Saturdays
  • The University of Michigan, the state’s oldest university, and its museums
  • A downtown built for walking: bookstores, the farmers market, and the Huron River trail
  • Zingerman’s Deli — worth the trip on its own, locals will tell you
