674 chargers on one 300 kW connection, at a European hub airport

A European hub airport wanted charging across its car parks without waiting years for a bigger grid connection. Pleevi now shares 300 kW across 674 chargers, fairly, and without asking drivers anything.

With only 300 kW for 674 charging points, each charger would get less than half a kilowatt if every car plugged in at once. That’s below what a car needs to start charging, so in practice, no car would charge at all. And the system can’t ask drivers when they’ll be back. They park, plug in and catch their flight without telling anyone.

  • A hard 300 kW limit that can never be exceeded
  • No driver input: every car’s needs have to be inferred
  • Quick top-ups and long stays, all at the same time
  • Hundreds of cars arriving and leaving, so the plan has to keep up

Each car park zone has its own charging profile, so the system knows what a car needs from where it is parked. Group-based priorities make sure no group of cars takes all the power, and the plan is redone every time a car connects or finishes.

Zones

A profile per zone

  • Short stays: high priority for 1–3 hours
  • Business trips: balanced for 3–8 hours
  • Long stays: gradual charging for 8+ hours
Fairness

Fair shares

  • Group-based priority stops cars monopolizing power
  • Rebalances as vehicles connect and finish
  • Time-aware, for departure readiness

The airport’s car parks have run on Pleevi since 2025: 674 charging points on one 300 kW connection, and no driver has to tell the system anything.

Large parking facility? Let’s talk.

Turn limited capacity into a robust system serving hundreds of charging stations.
