Electric vehicle (EV) sales in the United States have increased from around 100,000 in 2013 to more than one million in 2023. In turn, airports have installed charging stations to meet their customers' needs, prepare for expected demand, and comply with local ordinances. At least 93 out of the 145 hub airports are offering EV charging in their passenger parking facilities, up from 37 in 2014.
ACRP Synthesis 138: Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Airport Passenger Parking Facilities, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, documents the current experience with EV charging at airports, specifically within passenger parking facilities. Although the use of EVs and the need for charging equipment exists across the airport, publicly accessible charging is a unique use case that presents a different set of challenges than either employee parking or fleet charging facilities.
