As the market shifts towards sustainable energy solutions, there has been a surge in demand for electric vehicles (EVs). This evolution necessitates robust infrastructure to support the increasing number of EVs on the road. Airports, as major transportation hubs, play a crucial role in this transition.
ZPN have already proven themselves as a valuable asset to the air travel industry. In 2017, we tested our ZPN HUBZ electric vehicle chargersat Heathrow airport, London. We found that we were able to charge 168 electric vehicles a day from one single-phase electrical connection, using just 250 kWh of battery energy storage. By installing the ZPN HUBZ electric vehicle charger, airports can lead the charge towards sustainable vehicle solutions.
In this blog, we will explore the reasons why the ZPN HUBZ is the perfect solution for airports looking to enhance their services and sustainability efforts.
Meeting the Growing Demand for EV Charging - The global adoption of electric vehicles is accelerating, with millions of EVs already on the road and many more expected in the coming years. Airports must keep pace with this trend to remain relevant and provide the necessary services for modern travellers. The ZPN HUBZ charger offers high-speed, reliable charging solutions that can accommodate the increasing number of EVs, ensuring that airports are equipped to meet this growing demand.
Enhancing Passenger Experience - Travellers often spend considerable time at airports, making them ideal locations for EV charging. The ZPN HUBZ charger provides both rapid and ultra-rapid charging options, allowing passengers to top up their vehicles while waiting for their flights. This added convenience can significantly enhance the overall travel experience, making airports more attractive to EV owners.
Supporting Sustainability Goals - Airports are increasingly committed to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprints. Installing the ZPN HUBZ charger aligns with these goals by promoting the use of electric vehicles, which produce fewer emissions compared to traditional gasoline-powered cars. This move not only supports global efforts to combat climate change but also positions airports as leaders in sustainability.
Attracting Eco-Conscious Travellers - Today's travellers are more environmentally conscious than ever before. Many prefer to support businesses that prioritize sustainability. By offering EV charging services, airports can attract these eco-minded travellers, enhancing their reputation as forward-thinking and environmentally responsible facilities.
Facilitating the Transition To Electric Ground Service Equipment - Airports are not only accommodating passenger vehicles but also transitioning their ground service equipment (GSE) to electric. From baggage tugs to maintenance vehicles, there is a growing need for reliable charging infrastructure within airport operations. The ZPN HUBZ charger is versatile and powerful, capable of supporting a wide range of electric vehicles, including those used in ground services.
Generating Additional Revenue - Investing in EV charging infrastructure can be economically beneficial for airports. By offering EV charging services, airports can generate additional revenue through charging fees. This can provide a steady income stream while also enhancing the airport's service offerings.
Future-Proofing Airport Infrastructure - As the adoption of electric vehicles continues to grow, the demand for EV charging stations will increase. By installing the ZPN HUBZ charger now, airports can future-proof their infrastructure, ensuring they are prepared to meet the needs of future travellers. This proactive approach can prevent the need for rushed and potentially costly upgrades later on.
