Electric Vehicle Parking Area

5 RMB per hour with a 60 RMB cap gets you EV charging at PVG

The Electric Vehicle Parking Area sits inside the P4 long‑term lot at Shanghai Pudong (PVG), with pricing listed at 5 RMB per hour and a 60 RMB daily cap for small cars. It’s set up as standard parking plus plug‑in points, not a premium valet or reserved product, so costs match regular P4 spaces instead of a marked‑up EV tier.

P4 serves both T1 and T2, and airport maps flag it as a long‑term option with a shuttle ride of roughly 5 minutes to the terminals. That shuttle timing matters on early departures from T2 international flights, where you’ll want to add at least 15 minutes buffer on top of the 5‑minute ride for loading and short waits at the stop.

Trip.com specifically calls out that P4 includes designated EV charging spots alongside accessible parking, so you’re not guessing if plugs exist when you drive in. Daily price tops out at 60 RMB per calendar day, which scales better than the closer garages if you’re parking for three nights or more on a domestic run out of T1.

China‑focused transport guides point EV drivers toward the P4 EV section when leaving the car for multiple days, mainly to combine that 60 RMB daily cap with charging while you’re away. Those same guides note that closer terminal garages can run slightly higher and may not guarantee a plug, especially around holiday peaks like Golden Week.

Watch your state of charge before you lock up, because there’s little public detail on whether the P4 EV chargers are time‑limited or moved between cars, and the airport site doesn’t list plug counts. One practical tip: aim to arrive at P4 at least 45 minutes before check‑in cutoff, so you have time to find an EV bay, plug in, and still catch the 5‑minute shuttle to T1 or T2 without stress.
