Primer for Helping Airports Prepare for the Electrification of Rent-a-Car Fleets
As rent-a-car (RAC) companies introduce electric vehicles into their fleets, airports will need to ensure they can meet their unique electrification requirements. RAC companies are expected to require a mix of Level 2 chargers and direct current fast charging, and their energy demand may vary dramatically throughout the day, across the week, as well as over the year (e.g., holidays and during special events). Airport operators are faced with the challenge of how to effectively meet the future electricity requirements of RACs, manage capacity requests between RAC companies and other tenants, and integrate this demand into the overall energy management system of the airport. The objective of this research is to develop a primer and tools to help airport practitioners plan for the needs of rent-a-car providers as they continue to incorporate electric vehicles into their fleets.
