Aerovironment charging systems

I saw the following marketing press release today. What caught my eye was the statement "in every airport in the USA", plus if you read it through a large numbr of major world airports. Anyone who doubts that electric vehicles are gradually taking off should think again.

 AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) today announced the Port of Seattle has awarded the company a contract valued up to $8.8 million through 2014 to supply its PosiCharge™ electric Ground Support Equipment (eGSE) fast charge systems to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport .

Every large hub and many smaller airports in the United States now operate at least one AeroVironment PosiCharge eGSE fast charge system. PosiCharge systems have already enabled major international airports such as Boston Logan, Charlotte, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth , Dulles, George Bush , John F. Kennedy , La Guardia, Los Angeles , Miami , Newark , Philadelphia and San Francisco to replace thousands of their fossil-fueled GSE vehicles with cleaner, more efficient electric-powered alternatives.

PosiCharge systems also keep eGSE vehicles running reliably at Bob Hope airport in Burbank, Calif. , the first in the United States to convert to an "all-electric" GSE fleet model. International airports outside of the United States with PosiCharge systems include Bogota , Brisbane , Christchurch , Dubai , Hong Kong , Macau , Melbourne , Mexico City , Santiago and Toronto .
