Beta Technologies installs charging station for electric aircrafts at Alabama’s Montgomery Regional Airport

In Florida, Flying Magazine reported that Beta Technologies said it formed a partnership with Montgomery Regional Airport (KMGM) to install a charging station for electric aircraft, the first such station in the state of Alabama. Electric utility Alabama Power also worked as a partner on the project. The Beta-designed charger is capable of powering ground vehicles as well as aircraft. The equipment installed at the airport includes a Level 3 fast charger located inside the airport fence, mainly for charging aircraft, and a Level 2 charger outside the fence for the public to charge electric vehicles. “As we move closer to getting electric aircraft into operation, it is critical that we are building charging infrastructure where our customers need it,” said Blain Newton, Beta’s chief operations officer.
