Level 1 parking at HOU is where you’ll find the EV Charging area right next to the terminal.
The EV Charging section at William P. Hobby Airport sits in the parking area directly adjacent to Terminal 1, so you can plug in and walk to check-in in just a few minutes. This is standard AC and DC charging in the same general complex as the terminal garages, not in a remote lot.
Because it’s next to the terminal, you pay the same daily parking rate as the terminal garage at HOU, not a discounted economy price. That tradeoff buys you short walks to the ticket counters and TSA, which matters on early flights that board before 06:30 or late returns landing after 22:00.
Stations are in a marked EV section within the terminal-side parking, and access uses the same entry gates as any other on-site parking at Hobby. You pull a ticket or tap a toll tag at the main garage entrance, then follow signs toward the EV area; you are still inside airport-operated parking, not a third-party lot across Airport Boulevard.
Charging speeds and exact connector counts aren’t posted at booking, so plan on typical mixed-use stations that may be shared between at least two spots per pedestal. Turnover is highest during Monday morning bank flights and Sunday evening returns, roughly 17:00–21:00, when business traffic peaks across Southwest’s schedule.
Tip: Take a quick photo of the nearest level/row marker when you park in the EV Charging section so it’s easy to find your car after a long day and a late arrival into Hobby.
