Multimodal Aircraft Charging Station Deployment

Newly emerging aircrafts will rely on electric propulsion, however virtually no airports or similar facilities maintain capital infrastructure needed to provide aircraft and vehicle charging. Fielding a first in the state (and only a few in the nation) electric aircraft and vehicle charging station would be beneficial to the traveling community and MDOT as they prepare for implementation of new charging stations for aircraft and vehicles creating a multi-modal opportunity. Phase 1 would be the initial analysis and recommendations for deployment would provide the basis for establishing multi-modal charging stations for the state. Phase 2 would be the equipment procurement, installation, and field testing.
