Belfast City airport now has 12 electric vehicle (EV) charging bays in its short stay airport. The Weev charge points
A new partnership with Irish electric vehicle infrastructure company Weev has seen 12 parking bays with EV charging facilities installed in the Short Stay Car Park at the airport. These will enable passengers to charge their vehicle while travelling, with a Rapid Charger installed to enable those collecting passengers to gain a charge for up to 100 miles, in less than 30 minutes.
The addition of the chargers is a significant milestone in the airport’s wider environmental strategy, it said, and the installation follows the announcement that Belfast City had become the first airport in Northern Ireland to be accredited to Level 3 in the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme.
Mark Beattie, chief operating officer at Belfast City Airport, said: “Belfast City Airport is renowned for providing best-in-class services that exceed passenger expectations and the introduction of the Weev EV charging points in our Short Stay Car Park further enhances choice and user experience.
“We are committed to reducing carbon emissions across the site, and encouraging sustainable modes of transport amongst passengers and staff is just one of the ways we can do that.
Installation work began in April and the EV points became operational in May.
