Zevtron, the innovative smart EV charging software and hardware solutions provider, and Chauntry, the parking reservations leader, today announced a partnership to enhance airport EV charging services. This innovative solution leverages Zevtron’s industry-leading smart EV charging software within the existing Chauntry Parkspace reservation system, enabling EV drivers to effortlessly reserve charging stations before their flights. Unlike other EV charging reservations platforms, Parkspace utilizes Zevtron’s industry-leading smart EV charging software, which allows airports to monetize EV charging, keeping all the revenue generating by charging infrastructure.
“This is an important breakthrough for airports,” said Bob Andrews, founder of Zevtron. “Now airports can retain total control over the EV assets for which they are offering prebooking. It’s no longer necessary for airports to cede control over EV charging to closed technology providers if they want to offer EV reservations. Not only will this improve airport EV services, but it will also open up new revenue streams.”
Airports can add EV charging to their existing Chauntry Parkspace portals or, if they don’t yet offer parking prebooking, they can partner with Chauntry to launch Parkspace with EV charging.
“As airports have rebounded from the pandemic, parking prebooking has become essential for improving the travel experience,” said Theresa Hughes, managing director of Chauntry. “Now, the same limited inventory challenges that make parking prebooking necessary are presented by EV charging. If you’re driving an EV to catch a flight, the last thing you need is to arrive at the airport, only to find that there are no EV chargers available. Now, airports can remove travelers’ uncertainty over whether they’ll be able to charge their EV, and the anxiety that uncertainty can cause.”
Reserving EV charging with Parkspace is simple. When flyers log into the airport’s parking portal to reserve a parking space, there will be an option to reserve charger space as well. It’s simply a matter of clicking the EV button. Then, when they arrive at the airport parking facility, they merely drive to their EV charging station, scan the code provided by the prebooking platform, and begin charging. When they return from their trip, their account will automatically be debited for both charging and the parking session. For flyers who are taking longer trips, the platform can be integrated with valet services, and the vehicle can be moved to a regular parking area when it’s fully charged.
