Portland's Airport to install 42 EV charging points

Portland International Airport has installed a total of 42 electronic vehicle (EV) charging points - the most of any airport in the United States.

The decision comes as the airport´s management seek to make more efforts towards a cleaner environment. For that purpose they will be installing 42 L1 PowerPost EV charging stations, designed and manufactured by Telefonix Inc.

"This installation makes a huge statement," said Bill Williams, Business Development Manager for Telefonix, EVSE Division. "The electric vehicle movement is gaining steam and will continue to do so. Facilities like PDX are acknowledging this growing community and sending a signal that they support those who are embracing electric vehicles by installing stations for both airport employees and travelers."

The PowerPost EV charging stations will be free to use for employees and visitors.

"We are excited to support our travelers and employees with these new EV charging stations," said Vince Granato, Port of Portland chief operations officer. “The installation of EV charging stations is one of our many environmental initiatives, which are central to how we do business and serve as good community stewards."
