Interparking, the company that operates the carparks at Brussels Airport in Zaventem has announced that an additional 700 parking spaces at the airport will soon be equipped with charging points for electric cars. An increase in the number of passengers and airport staff that travel to and from Zaventem in electric cars means that demand for charging points is greater than ever.
Interparking has more that 13,000 parking spaces in its carparks at the airport. Previously just 50 parking spaces were equipped with charging points. Now 500 additional charging points will be made available to passengers and 200 more will be set aside for staff that work at the airport. This will bring the total number of charging points available to 750.
Interparking’s CEO Roland Cracco told VRT News that "We want to do our bit to promote greener modes of transport”.
Brussels Airport’s CEO Arnaud Feist told VRT News that promoting the use of electric vehicles is part of a wider strategy on sustainability at the airport.
"There are slow-charge points that will enable passenger to charge up their vehicle while they are on holiday”.
The new charging points will enter service between now and the end of the month.
