EV parking is located at our Meet & Greet Arrival lanes in Terminal 1.

Yes, for our team to charge your car you must supply your own charging cables. These will be returned to you when you collect your vehicle.

The time to fully charge your vehicle will depend on the type of charger you have.

· Level 1 (120V) chargers: About 10-30 hours for a full charge.

· Level 2 (240V) chargers: Typically 4-12 hours for a full charge.

· DC Fast Chargers: Around 30 minutes for up to 200-300 miles of range.

It's important to note that the specific charging time will vary depending on the EV model, its battery size, and the charger's capacity. Some EVs have larger batteries, and some chargers can deliver more power than others. Additionally, charging speeds may slow down as the battery reaches higher states of charge to protect the battery's health.

Prices for EV parking will vary depending on the date and duration of your stay. Remember to pre-book your EV parking to secure the best rates ahead of your journey.

We advise that customers do not have less than 20% charge on their battery when parking at the airport. Electric vehicles will still use battery whilst they’re parked for onboard computers and alarm systems - this means your battery will deplete whilst you’re away.
