An expanded parking and charging site for electric cabs opened at Hongqiao airport on Thursday to cap the demand of local taxi drivers.
The second phase of the site near the north square of the T2 terminal has 22 additional parking spaces with charging equipment for electric taxis. Drivers can park and charge their cars at the site using a WeChat app.
The site was initially launched in April with 20 parking slots for drivers to charge cabs while waiting for customers. The 380-volt rapid charging poles can fully charge an electric car from empty in just over 30 minutes.
Once finished charging, drivers can pick up passengers at the terminal building without queuing behind other taxis.
