Airports are facing growing demands for electrification across vehicles, aircraft, and ground support equipment, but many lack the tools and expertise to forecast future charging needs and plan infrastructure investments accordingly—especially those with limited experience in EV planning.
Cadmus developed a user-friendly planning tool for the National Academies of Sciences’ Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) to help airports assess and prepare for future electrification. The tool covers 11 distinct airport charging use cases and enables users to model future EV adoption scenarios and estimate associated electricity loads and costs. The research also incorporated insights from a focus group of rental car industry leaders, including Avis, Enterprise, Sixt, and Dollar Rent-A-Car.
The resulting tool empowers airports—regardless of their prior experience with EVs—to make informed, data-driven decisions about electrification. By offering a comprehensive, scenario-based approach, the tool supports strategic infrastructure planning and positions airports to meet growing sustainability and operational demands.
