Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport offers electric drivers a charge
Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport has unveiled two new electric vehicle (EV) charging ports available for free to customers who park using the DFW Airport Valet service. The addition of an electric vehicle charging station marks a new milestone in the Airport’s dedication to sustainability by supporting customers who own electric cars.
The charging ports work on most typically available electric vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf. The new electric car chargers are able to fully charge a typical electric vehicle in about 3 to 4 hours. A standard 110-volt electrical outlet would require 10 to 15 hours to fully charge an electric car.
DFW Airport Valet operators will manage the charging stations so they can be easily accessed from anywhere in the terminal parking areas, and so they can be made available to multiple customers as needed. The Airport will continue to monitor and study the need for more EV charging stations in other terminals.
The Airport’s EV charging station is a two-port PEP Station, boasting Level 2 (240 volt, alternating current) support as plug-in charging ports, manufactured by Hubbell. The charging ports are installed in the valet level of Terminal D, but customers can have their cars charged by simply dropping off their vehicle at any DFW Airport Valet stand.
