⚡️It’s nearly time for these stations to be reunited with the students that rely on them for a connected university experience.

🔋 Charging is not a convenience. It’s basic infrastructure.

At university, almost everything depends on a connected device. Lectures. Research. Timetables. Digital learning. Communication. Campus services.

So what happens when a student’s phone or laptop runs out of power?

They’re not just disconnected from a device. They’re disconnected from campus.

Reliable charging should be designed into every student experience — accessible where students actually need it, available when they need it, and built to last and run in a sustainable manner.

Powering devices means powering participation.

🔋 Rethink charging.

3 MILLION CHARGES and counting!⚡️

It’s a milestone we’re incredibly proud of — but even more importantly, it’s a milestone made possible by a long-standing partnership with Heathrow and a shared focus on delivering charging where and when passengers need it.

With over 16 charging facilities and 99.8% asset availability, this is what reliable passenger charging looks like at airport scale.

And we couldn’t put it better than heathrow_airport Procurement Director Paul Doherty:

“Nothing like a big milestone!” 🚀

Thank you to Paul and everyone at Heathrow who has helped make this partnership such a success.

Over 3 million charges down.
How long to 5 million? 🚀

An airport passenger with 8% battery behaves differently from one with 80%.

So why do airports still measure charging mainly by the number of sockets?

At 80%, a passenger keeps moving.

At 8%, they start making decisions:

→ Do I use the airport app?
→ Can I afford to keep using my phone?
→ Where can I charge?
→ Should I stop here?
→ Will I have enough battery to board?

This is why airport charging deserves more thought than simply counting sockets.

Is it fast enough? Is it reliable? Is it available when passengers need it?

Good charging keeps people connected — and helps them keep moving.

We take a closer look at why that matters for the passenger experience in our next article.

🧐 What if airports have been thinking about passenger charging all wrong?

For years, charging has been treated as another passenger amenity. A nice-to-have. Something to install, then forget about.

✈️ But today’s airport experience depends on a passenger’s mobile device. Boarding passes. Flight updates. Wayfinding. Payments. Retail. Lounge access. Ground transport.

🪫 When batteries run low, the passenger experience changes.

So perhaps it’s time to stop asking:
“Do we have enough charging?”

…and start asking:
“Is our charging infrastructure actually supporting the passenger journey?”

This article is the first in a new thought leadership series from ChargeBox exploring why airports continue to underperform in one of the most critical parts of the digital passenger experience.

Drawing on research across 55 major international airports, real-world operational data and years of deployment experience, the series will challenge long-held assumptions about passenger charging and explain why the industry’s future lies in a charging-first, data-driven approach.

If you’re responsible for passenger experience, commercial performance, operations or airport innovation, this series is written for you.

The first article is now live.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Is passenger charging still being treated as an amenity… or has it become essential infrastructure?

Three million charges. One incredible partnership. ⚡

We’re proud to celebrate a major milestone with Heathrow Airport: more than 3 million passenger charges delivered across 41 upgraded ChargeBox charging stations.

This achievement shows what’s possible when existing infrastructure is transformed to meet the needs of today’s travellers.

By upgrading legacy charging points into smart, fully managed FASTPodiums, Heathrow has increased charging capacity, improved reliability and created a service passengers can depend on when staying connected matters most.

The numbers tell the story:

⚡ 3 million+ passenger charges delivered
📈 243,382 charges in our busiest month to date
🔋 9,494 charges in a single day – our highest ever
✅ 99.8%+ service availability

Every one of those three million charges represents a passenger who could stay connected when it mattered most.

This milestone has only been possible through a true partnership. A huge thank you to Paul Doherty and everyone across heathrow_airport and ChargeBox whose hard work, innovation and collaboration have made this success possible.

We’re proud to support Heathrow’s commitment to delivering an exceptional passenger experience and look forward to helping even more airports provide smarter, faster and more reliable charging infrastructure.

The best infrastructure delivers measurable outcomes.

At Heathrow Airport, our charging infrastructure isn’t judged by how many units are installed.

It’s measured by how people use them.

The results speak for themselves. 👇🏼

• Around 175 charging sessions per station every day
• Average charging session of approximately 18 minutes
• Millions of passenger minutes returned every year
• Increased movement throughout the terminal

And this in turn leads to… 👇🏼👇🏼
• Better passenger experience
• More commercially active dwell time
• Greater engagement with retail and food outlets
• Improved operational efficiency

❌ Infrastructure should never be invisible.

It should actively improve the way people experience a space.

That’s exactly what Chargebox is designed to do.

Where do you think charging infrastructure has the greatest impact?

✈️ airports, 🏥 hospitals, 🛍️ shopping centres or 🚝 transport hubs?

Most public charging is still managed the old way:

🔌 Install it
👀 Check it manually
📞 Wait for complaints
🔧 Send someone to fix it

That approach quickly becomes inefficient in busy transport hubs.

ChargeBox transforms charging from a passive amenity into managed infrastructure by combining:

⚡ USB-C Power Delivery
📱 Direct-to-device charging
📡 IoT monitoring
🚨 Real-time fault alerts
📊 Usage analytics

Manual inspections may sound sensible, but as networks grow, so do the potential points of failure.

Without live data, teams spend valuable time searching for issues instead of resolving known problems.

With remote monitoring, fault detection and usage reporting, airport operations teams can identify issues before passengers report them and direct maintenance exactly where it’s needed.

The result:

✅ Less wasted manpower
✅ Fewer unnecessary call-outs
✅ Faster issue resolution
✅ Lower support costs
✅ A better passenger experience

Smart charging isn’t just about power. It’s about operational efficiency.
