FW: EV Charging at Philadelphia International Airport
d...@livingonthenet.com
All, I sent a note to the Philadelphia Parking Authority about chargers at Philly airport almost 3 years ago.
Surprisingly, they responded yesterday that PHL now has chargers. Shocked that they help on to my email. Glad that Philly has chargers.

Good Afternoon Mr. Dodson:
After a long delay, our electric vehicle charging stations located at PHL were activated on November 30, 2015. You can locate them on www.plugshare.com or www.chargepoint.com.
Thank you for choosing to park AT the Airport.

Dear Mr. Dodson:
Charging stations for electric vehicles are currently under evaluation here
at our Philadelphia International Airport parking facility. We hope to have
them in place in the near future.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,

As electric cars become more prevalent this year, I hope that the
Philadelphia Parking Authority will see fit to install appropriate charging
options in the airport parking decks.
Even a Level 1 charger (120V) would be helpful, and inexpensive. A Level 1
charger can fill an electric car battery at 5 miles/hour. Given that
airport parking stays are typically 24 hours or longer, this is more than
enough electricity keep a car topped off. Further, it would not be
unreasonable to charge a bit extra for electric spots.
Electric cars, including the Tesla Model S, slowly lose charge when left
unplugged. This dynamic is especially pronounced in cold weather. Cars
with lower ranges like the Nissan Leaf would benefit from being able to
recharge for a return trip home. Charging stations at the airport would
make it more feasible for travelers to use the airport with their
environmentally friendly vehicles.
