The west parking garage at Denver International (DEN) is now home to 10 new electric vehicle charging stations.
The stations are free for travelers who pay to park in the garage. Located in Rows E and F on Level 1 of the garage, the stations work with most electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Partial funding for the project came from a grant from the Charge Ahead Colorado Electric Vehicle and Charging Station grant fund, which is a program through the Regional Air Quality Council and the Colorado Energy Office.
“The airport is constantly evaluating passenger needs, and we identified electric vehicle charging stations as an amenity that not only fills a growing need for travelers but also supports DIA’s commitment to sustainability,” says Kim Day, CEO of DEN. “The first charging stations have proven to be extremely popular, and we hope passengers will enjoy charging up even faster now.”
The stations provide about 20 miles of range per hour of charging. The 10 new stations bring DEN’s total to 20.
