Reserved EV bays at ITM mean you’re not hunting sockets
At Osaka Itami (terminal code T), the EV Charge Area sits inside the official on-airport parking tied to ANA’s reserved parking program, so you park close and plug in on the same ticket instead of gambling on a random outlet in a distant corner.
ANA’s Itami reserved parking pages explicitly mention electric vehicle charging outlets in the reserved section, which points to a grouped EV area rather than one or two mystery plugs scattered through the garage. You still pull a standard airport parking ticket at the gate; charging is treated as part of the on-site parking setup, not a separate third-party lot.
The airport’s own parking information lists EV charging locations inside the main parking structures P1 and P2, but skips details like total port count, kW rating, or any add-on charging fee. Plan as if you are getting regular Japanese public-structure chargers near the terminal, not highway fast-charger speeds, and top up a bit before arrival if you need serious range after landing.
Mileage-focused drivers tie their ANA Mileage Club number to their Itami parking reservation, picking the EV Charge Area and earning miles off the same booking. That way you lock in a space that actually has a socket and avoid circling P1 or P2 at 07:00 on a Monday trying to poach the last outlet from someone half-parked over the line.
One practical tip: reserve the EV-capable section through ANA before high-demand periods like Obon or Golden Week; treat it like booking a specific seat rather than just “airport parking,” so you arrive at T, drive straight to your bay, and plug in without buffer time eaten by garage laps.
