Next-Generation Aviation with This Generation’s Grid
As airports move toward electrification, they face a growing challenge: how to support new electric ground vehicles and emerging eVTOL operations without waiting years for utility upgrades.
The Infrastructure Bottleneck
Airport operators and service providers are under pressure to electrify vehicle fleets and prepare for the next generation of aviation. However, traditional approaches require significant investments in new electrical infrastructure before charging solutions can be deployed.
The Core IssueWaiting years for utility grid upgrades stalls modernization.
A Smarter Path Forward
Power Innovations International (Pii) and Averest have partnered to help airports accelerate electrification without overhauling their existing infrastructure. By leveraging Pii's DC-input charging technology, charging systems can connect directly to existing 150V DC airport power networks.
Instead of waiting for new utility service, transformer installations, or major construction projects, airports can deploy charging solutions today by tapping into their current distribution systems—converting available power into the exact voltage levels required by modern electric vehicles and aviation equipment.

Preparing Airports for the Next Generation of Mobility
Industry studies continue to show that future eVTOL operations may place significant demands on airport electrical systems, often requiring major grid upgrades if traditional charging approaches are used. By leveraging existing DC infrastructure and advanced power conversion technology, airports can begin preparing for these emerging requirements while minimizing capital expenditures and deployment delays.
Together, Pii and Averest are helping airports modernize their charging infrastructure, accelerate electrification efforts, and create a practical foundation for the next generation of electric ground transportation and aviation.
