- Kirby64 6y agoAssuming you aren't parked underground. Many airport parking lots are multi-tiered parking garages for density. Sure, you can park on the roof, but maybe rooftop becomes the more 'coveted' spot if this did take off.
- eldaisfish 6y agoMany large airports and certainly the majority of airports in large metropolitan areas have underground or covered parking.
- mbreese 6y agoMost still have the large extended parking lots that are a bit further away. Those are always large outdoor lots, even at a place like SFO. These are more geared towards the longer term parking scenario the parent post referred to.
- bdamm 6y agoNormal EVs can sit for a week and not have a dead battery. There is some value to having that trickle charge but not a ton. IIRC there was a solar powered Prius where the panel powered a cabin fan and that kinda makes sense.
- mikestew 6y agoOver the past twelve months our Leaf has sat for weeks at a time without being driven. It has never failed to “start”. When it sits at the airport, it sits in the charger spot with all the other EVS.
