Drivers of electric cars can now recharge at Riga Airport thanks to a new electric car charging station.
The 50 kW DC fast charger is located in an easily accessible place – at the entrance to the Airport’s P3 car park. It is equipped with CCS and CHAdeMO DC charging connectors and a Type2 AC connector, which ensures that charging can be performed on any electric vehicle.
Commenting on how the airport’s sustainability strategy addresses environmental concerns, Laila Odina, Chairperson of the airport’s board, said the electric charging station “may seem like a small step towards strengthening the sustainable operation of the airport, but it is also a response to the growing demand and change of habits of both the general public and airport customers.”
The electric car charging station at Riga Airport is part of the network of 139 “E-mobi” charging stations established by the Road Traffic Safety Directorate with the support of the ERDF funding, which provides opportunities for electric cars to travel throughout the territory of Latvia. There is a fixed fee in the “E-mobi” network for charging electric cars – 0.15 euros/min with VAT.
