Electric Vehicle Parking

[inis]

Hello all, I did some searching on here but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Disney uses chargepoint stations, using my App these are mostly "available". Can anyone confirm this is the actual case or are gas cars taking these spots?

Thanks in advance.

I know I've seen the charging station at Epcot (it's near the Uber drop off) and it's just electric cars using the chargers. But I'm not sure anyone can say that no one ever parks their non-electric car there. Or that one would be there when you arrive.

Thanks, I'll get the the parks early first day and scope out the electric vehicle parking mid day. If it looks good, i'll show up a bit later the remainder of our trip.

From the Disney World Parking information page:

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations For your convenience, a number of ChargePoint charging stations are now available in parking lots at Magic Kingdom park, Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park and Disney Springs. Arriving Guests may ask a Cast Member for directions to these charge ports, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Magic Kingdom Park: 5 spaces—1 space at the front of the Jafar Parking Lot and 4 spaces at the front of the Zurg Parking Lot
• Epcot: 4 spaces at the front of the Journey Parking Lot
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park: 4 spaces in the Medical Parking Lot
• Disney Springs: 6 spaces—3 on the 5th floor of the Orange Garage and 3 on the 5th floor of the Lime Garage

To use this service, you will need a credit card or a pre-ordered ChargePoint card—available at chargepoint.com. The cost to charge at these stations is $0.35 per kilowatt hour, with a minimum service amount of $1.50. Charging will stop once the vehicle’s battery is fully charged. ChargePoint will “ping” the owners to alert them when their car is ready.
