16 EV chargers sit right next to the AQP T1 terminal
The EV Charging Stations at Rodríguez Ballón International Airport sit directly beside Terminal T1, so you park, plug in, and walk a couple of minutes to check-in. No shuttle, no long walk with bags, just curbside-level access with charging built in.
These stations are part of the airport’s official parking setup at AQP and share the same next-to-terminal location as the main car park. You’re in the same zone as standard vehicles, so drop-offs and pick-ups stay straightforward if someone else is driving the car out after you land.
Power output and connector types aren’t clearly published by the airport, so assume basic AC charging rather than high-speed DC fast chargers. Plan like you’re topping up over a few hours while on a short trip from Arequipa, not trying to add hundreds of kilometers in 30 minutes.
Payment details for the EV spaces follow the standard airport parking rules at Rodríguez Ballón, using the same lot access and payment points right by T1. Budget as you would for regular terminal parking in Arequipa and treat the charging as a parking add-on, not a separate service with its own entrance.
Right now there are no widely shared reviews or regulars’ tips on these EV points at AQP, and the airport hasn’t posted usage data or time limits. That usually means first-come, first-served, with no pre-booking and no separate reservation system for electric bays.
Practical tip: arrive at AQP T1 at least 20–30 minutes earlier than usual if you need a charger specifically, so you have time to loop the next-to-terminal lot and switch to a regular space if all EV spots are taken.
