# Airport EV Charging Expansions LAX Added 1,300 Electric Chargers Through a PowerFlex Partnership By Colin Smith | Published 2022-08-19 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerflex References: [autoblog](https://www.autoblog.com/2022/08/19/lax-1300-electric-car-chargers/)  The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) announced a new initiative in collaboration with 'PowerFlex,' the energy solutions company. This new initiative is being combined with the 'Landside Access Modernization Program' which includes the construction of a 4,300-space parking structure at the airport. Through the partnership with PowerFlex, 1,300 of these parking spaces will become [electric vehicle charging ports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-ev-charging). According to PowerFlex, the company will install a mixture of [level 2 chargers and DC fast-chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastcharging-ev-stations) throughout the parking structure, which is located near the gates of the airport. This is an excellent venture toward [eco-transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethio-telecom) for the airport as it encourages riders to use EVs for airport trips, effectively reducing the carbon footprint caused by airport travel. LAX noted that the EV chargers will cost a flat rate of $2 per charge plus an additional $0.45 per kilowatt-hour used.
