Munich Airport Opens Bavaria’s Largest EV Charging Park

Munich Airport has inaugurated Bavaria’s largest public electric vehicle (EV) charging park, featuring 275 charging points in parking garage P44. This milestone marks another key step in the airport’s broader sustainability strategy, “NetZero 2035,” aiming to eliminate its CO₂ footprint by 2035.

 

The facility includes 138 charging stations on Level 4 of P44, each delivering up to 22 kW of renewable power. The energy comes from two newly installed photovoltaic (PV) systems on garages P43 and P44, comprising 7,216 solar modules with a combined peak output of 3 megawatts—enough to power approximately 1,000 three-person households.

The €5.2 million project was fully financed by Munich Airport and executed in collaboration with regional companies. It was officially opened on September 16, 2025, with Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder, State Finance Minister Albert Füracker, and Munich Airport CEO Jost Lammers in attendance.

“Munich Airport is our gateway to the world and also a gateway to e-mobility,” said Söder. “We’re proud to see this facility contribute to our goals for tripling EV charging points in Bavaria by 2030.”

Finance Minister Füracker added, “This project demonstrates Munich Airport’s role as both an international hub and a local innovator. It sets new standards for sustainable infrastructure in Bavaria.”

The charging park is also a model for future development at the airport. CEO Jost Lammers emphasized its strategic role: “By combining energy generation, mobility, and grid infrastructure, we’re setting a blueprint for other projects across the airport campus.”

Currently, Munich Airport operates more than 1,140 EV charging points, including those on the apron for ground service equipment. Its total solar energy generation capacity stands at around 7 megawatts, with plans to expand to 50 megawatts by 2030 through additional rooftop and open-space installations.

With this latest development, Munich Airport continues to lead in integrating climate-conscious infrastructure into large-scale transport operations.
