The platform allows airports and FBOs to connect and manage compatible charging hardware through OCPP, while OCPI integration enables interoperability with external charging networks, roaming partners and payment platforms.
Aerovolt says the aim is to remove another barrier to the deployment of charging infrastructure at airports, particularly where operators already have chargers installed but want greater control over how they are managed, monitored and made available to users.
The system can provide live charger status, session monitoring, energy consumption data, pricing, vehicle autocharging and user management, while creating a foundation for airports to integrate both ground vehicle and electric aircraft charging into a single infrastructure platform.
Unlike many commercial charge-point management systems, Aerovolt is making the core software available to airports and FBOs without a software licence fee.
The launch forms part of Aerovolt's wider strategy to accelerate aviation electrification by making both the physical and digital infrastructure required for electric flight easier to deploy.
Aerovolt Founder Phil Kingsley-Dobson said:
“Charging hardware is only one part of the equation. Airports also need simple software that lets them operate it, connect it to other networks and understand exactly how the infrastructure is being used. We want to remove as much cost and complexity from that process as possible."
