Belfast City Airport Unveils New EV Charging Points

Belfast City Airport has become the first airport in Northern Ireland to provide electric vehicle (EV) charging points for passengers thanks to a new partnership with leading Irish electric vehicle infrastructure company Weev .

Twelve parking bays with EV Charging facilities have been installed in the Short Stay Car Park at the airport, providing passengers with the opportunity to charge their vehicle while travelling, with a Rapid Charger installed to enable those collecting passengers to gain a charge for up to 100 miles, in less than 30 minutes. The addition of the chargers is a significant milestone in the airport’s wider environmental strategy and journey to a more sustainable future, and the installation follows the announcement it had become the first airport in Northern Ireland to be accredited to Level 3 in the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. Mark Beattie, Chief Operating Officer at Belfast City Airport, said: “Belfast City Airport is renowned for providing best-in-class services that exceed passenger expectations and the introduction of the Weev EV charging points in our Short Stay Car Park further enhances choice and user experience.
