A few years ago when I parked at Boston Logan for a day trip I parked in the garage right at the terminal and paid the outrageous price to park there for ONE day.

When I was walking to the elevator right next to the door were all the chargers and spots for EVs. About 15-30’ away. Preferred parking like handicapped people get.
It really pissed me off. Then I remembered I was in MA.

I would suspect that the every airport parking garage has these preferred EV parking spots right near their elevators/stairwells.

Maybe not anymore. Start Farm recently yanked EV chargers from their parking decks and are relocating them to open air parking lots..

Or easier to build. If you’re going to add stuff that eats a lot of electricity to an already existing parking garage where is the most highest capacity electrical wiring already? By the elevators.

That's likely due to the channels in the elevator towers being used to run the high voltage electrical lines, instead of digging new trenches for underground power lines to another area and building a whole new column to run the power lines up to the parking spaces.
