Southampton Airport welcomes seven charge points for visitors

PodPoint has installed seven charge points for visitors to use at Southampton Airport.

They are free to use for people using the car park and are located in the short stay and priority parking areas.

Six of the new points are for customer use and one is dedicated for airport vehicles.

Dave Lees, managing director of Southampton Airport, said: “The number of drivers switching to EVs is increasing exponentially. These drivers need access to public charging as they go about their lives, and we need to make sure we’re meeting the needs of this particular group of customers. We’re also pleased to be helping build the UK’s charging infrastructure with this installation.

“In the future, we may install more charge points, but for now we’ll monitor usage of these along with feedback from our customers. And, we’ll be tracking our C02 emissions to see what savings we are making in this area.”
