Travelers through McCarran International (LAS) who are worried about depleting the batteries of their electronic devices have a new way ensure extra battery life.
FuelRod kiosks are now in LAS, allowing passengers to buy fully fueled, portable chargers that deliver up to eight additional hours of use on smartphones or nearly four extra hours for a tablet.
“We’re very excited to add McCarran International Airport to our list of major airports who are offering our FuelRod mobile charging service to their customers,” says Joe Yeagley, co-founder of Tricopian LLC, the company behind FuelRod. “Our ‘Power as a Service’ airport program continues to gain momentum across the nation as more and more users discover the convenience of ‘swapping’ an empty FuelRod for a fully charged one.”
For $20, travelers can purchase the charger, with comes with connectors for both Android and Apple devices. Once a charger is depleted, they can visit one of FuelRod’s SwapBoxes to exchange the empty charger for a full one at no cost.
“The traveler experience here at McCarran International Airport is like no other in the United States,” says Scott Kichline, assistant director of aviation for LAS. “There is so much to do and experience including shopping, dining and gaming while waiting for flights. The portable chargers at the FuelRod kiosks are a great way to free passengers from the time and stress of recharging their smart devices. We’ve introduced a number of initiatives to make charging easier for travelers. The FuelRod ‘Power as a Service’ airport program is a novel idea and one we’re excited to embrace because it’s the first to give travelers that freedom to explore.”
The kiosks in LAS are located in Terminal 1 by Gate C21, Terminal 3 by Gate E10 and in the four food court areas in the D Concourse.
