Level 1 garage EV chargers so you land with range to spare
EV Charging Parking at Bradley sits in the main parking garage, with designated EV spaces on Level 1 near Terminal A. You park in a standard garage spot that happens to have a charger, so you’re paying the regular garage rate, not a premium EV fee. This setup works best if you’re gone at least a day or two and just want to top up enough to drive back across Connecticut or into western Massachusetts without hunting for a DC fast charger.
These are slower Level 1 or Level 2-style airport chargers, not highway-style fast chargers, so think “add range while you’re away,” not “quick stop before takeoff.” If you’re flying out on a Friday night and coming back Sunday, that’s usually plenty of time to gain the 60–150 extra miles many regional travelers need. The chargers sit inside the covered garage, which helps in winter when BDL can see snow and temperatures below 20°F.
Access works like any other BDL garage stay: pull a ticket or tap your transponder at the entrance, park in a signed EV Charging Parking space on Level 1, and plug in. Standard garage pricing applies by the hour with a daily max, matching other on-airport garage options at Bradley. Because spaces are in a fixed section, you may need a few extra minutes to circle the first level instead of driving straight to the nearest open spot.
Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes earlier than you would for surface parking so you can find an open EV bay, park, plug in, and still walk the short distance into Terminal A check-in without rushing.
