Project Summary
Airports represent unique opportunities for electric vehicle (EV) charging, given long parking durations and high energy demands. Using parking and charging data from San José Mineta International and San Luis Obispo County Regional Airports, this project develops a model to determine the most effective charging infrastructure for airport lots and explores strategies like time-of-use optimization and demand response to align with renewable energy and improve profitability. Findings will help airports and similar transportation hubs plan investments that support California’s electrification goals while increasing profitability.
