Synthesis of Information Related to Airport Practices. Topic S04-28. Safety and Security Considerations for EV Charging Infrastructure at Airports

As more electric vehicles (EVs) enter the market and fleet, transit, and passenger vehicles switch to electric; transportation facilities, such as airports, bus depots, and state and local fleet depots are often providing charging infrastructure to support these vehicles. Airports often handle a variety of different customers and needs in relation to EV charging; fleet and equipment owners will require airside charging infrastructure and transit or shuttle buses and passengers may need landside charging options. As charging infrastructure increases, the risks related to safety and security increase and must be addressed. As current national standards are limited and best practices are not well documented, research is needed to understand how airports are handling safety and security concerns in terms of both airside and landside charging infrastructure. The objective of this synthesis is to document the existing practices related to safety and security of electric vehicle charging infrastructure for both airside and landside operations at airports. The audience for this report is airport planners, engineers, and managers.
