Four EV charging spots sit in the main SSA parking lot
The EV Chargers area at Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (SSA) sits in the primary public car park serving Terminal 1, so you park and walk straight into the terminal in about 3–6 minutes. Spaces are limited, so treat these chargers as “top-up while you fly,” not guaranteed parking.
All chargers are in the same open-air lot that handles hourly and daily parking for Terminal 1, so you pay the standard airport parking rate per hour or per 24-hour period at the main machines. There’s no separate EV tariff published yet, so budget exactly what you would for regular long‑stay parking at SSA.
Power levels are typically in the slower AC range rather than ultra-fast DC, so plan for several hours to add meaningful range instead of a quick 20‑minute stop. That lines up best with overnight or multi‑day trips of 24 hours or more, where the car can sit on the charger for most of your absence.
Charging spots sit close to terminal access lanes and main pedestrian paths for Terminal 1, which makes luggage runs simpler but also means these bays attract regular cars when the lot is busy. Staff enforcement is hit-or-miss, so build a Plan B in case all four EV spaces are ICE’d or occupied by other EVs.
Tip: Arrive at least 30–40 minutes earlier than your normal airport routine if you need a charger at SSA; that buffer lets you circle once, decide whether to take a regular space, and still walk the 3–6 minutes into Terminal 1 without cutting it tight.
