Munich Airport (MUC) has officially opened its new electric car parking facility in parking garage P44, situated opposite the LabCampus innovation hub northwest of the airport.
Featuring 275 charging points; the new facility is Bavaria’s largest electric charging park to date, and was inaugurated by Bavarian Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Munich Airport, Minister of State for Finance and Home Affairs Albert Füracker, and Munich Airport CEO Jost Lammers.
Visitors can now charge their vehicles at one of the 138 charging stations provided on Level 4 of the P44 parking garage, each of which has a nominal output of 11kW and a maximum output of up to 22kW.
Power for the charging stations comes from a set of photovoltaic systems on the roofs of both the P44 and P43 parking garages which are made up of 7,216 PV modules, each of which has a total maximum output of three megawatts.
Munich Airport has thus far invested roughly 5.2 million EUR into the project.
Minister-President Dr. Markus Söder said:Munich Airport is our gateway to the world and also a gateway to e-mobility. Bavaria is continuing to massively expand e-mobility and renewable energies. We are already the German federal state with the most electric cars and the most charging points. By 2030, we aim to triple the number of charging points.
Furthermore, we have introduced free parking for electric cars. We promote state-of-the-art drive systems and are fans of e-mobility – but with an open approach to technology and without rigid bans. Munich Airport is playing a pioneering role with its e-charging park.
With the installation of the new charging points; Munich Airport now offers charging capacity for over 1,440 vehicles.
