Welcome to our EV Charger! We provide this as a courtesy to our renters and the general public due to very limited infrastructure in Munising for EV users. We make little to no money on this charger after paying for its install, the cost of power ($0.26/kWh up here!) and the annual service fees to keep the AmpUP portal running, so please help us keep it in good working order by cleaning up after you are finished: Plugging the charger head into the wall mount (this helps keep out rain which otherwise causes faults), and looping the cable around the charger's housing to keep it off the ground.
This station provides 10kW of Level 2 charging via a J1772 connector. It can charge any car from empty to full in 4-8 hours depending on the size of your battery. For every hour you are plugged in, you will gain about 40 miles of driving. For most small rental cars (Kia, Chevy Bolt, etc.), it will take about 4 hours to fully charge to 100%. Teslas can charge here but require the Tesla J1772 adapter that comes with the vehicle.
General Rules:
- Only park on asphalt, not our grass please.
- The driveway is only for actively charging EV's. If you are not actively charging, do not park there.
- Unplug and move your car when you are done charging. 30 minutes grace period is fine but any longer and we will call a tow truck to move you. There are very few spots in Munising to charge so it's imperative to keep this one open for those that need it.
- Cars plugged in after 8pm may remain parked until 8am the next morning regardless of when their charge session ends. Please move your vehicle before 8am if your charge is complete.
- If the EV charger is not powered on, check PlugShare for its status. Sometimes we have to disable it, for example if someone rents the garage space and needs full driveway access to the garage.

Create an account and link a payment method. Do not choose "request a code" from in the AmpUp app. Code request is how you request FREE access, but as we do not grant free access, the request will be ignored. You must pay for use of this charger
Follow the instructions in the app after your payment card is loaded, then plug in when directed. The app will guide you through the charging process. You can also see charger availability from within the app, so if you need to charge again later, you can check it for availability first.
We do not charge for idle time, but please do not overstay after charging. 20 or 30 minutes is OK, for example if your charge finishes while you are at lunch/dinner or wrapping up a boat tour/hike. But then please move your car. If you are in by 8pm, you can stay until 8am. Charging resources are limited in Munising so please help us serve as many cars as possible, this also helps us to keep our costs down for everyone.
