275 EV Charging Ports Go Live at Munich Airport: Wallbox eM4 Powers Europe’s Largest Airport Charging Hub

Munich Airport, one of Europe’s busiest aviation gateways, has taken a bold leap toward its Net Zero 2035 goal with the launch of a 275-port EV charging hub – one of the largest installations of its kind at any European airport to date.

Powered by Wallbox’s eM4 AC chargers and deployed in partnership with AMBA Operations, the project showcases how scalable, modular infrastructure can be implemented at speed, without compromising on performance or reliability.

More than a technical achievement, this deployment marks a turning point in how critical transport hubs can accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility, at scale.

Charging at Airport Scale: Why Reliability Is Everything

Airports are 24/7 ecosystems – complex, high-traffic environments that depend on absolute uptime.

From passenger vehicles and taxis to service fleets and logistics providers, every minute of downtime has an operational cost.

The Wallbox eM4 was engineered with exactly this kind of environment in mind. Its modular architecture ensures maximum uptime, enabling on-site teams to swap key components or power modules within minutes – keeping chargers online and minimizing disruption. 

At Munich Airport, where thousands of drivers rely on consistent charging every day, this resilience has already proven critical. The eM4’s fast-servicing design and built-in redundancy are helping the airport maintain seamless operation across 275 charging ports, even during peak travel seasons.

The Power of Efficient Implementation

Beyond the technology itself, the Munich Airport project stands out for the efficiency of its rollout, completed in record time with zero operational downtime.

A total of 138 eM4 Twin and Single units were installed in just four months, transforming Parking Garage P44 into Bavaria’s largest AC charging park.

How it was achieved:

• Precision installation: A drill-free busbar system allowed rapid deployment without structural modification to the existing building.
  
• Smart logistics: Components were drop-shipped in phases to match construction progress, cutting storage needs and idle time.
  
• Seamless energy distribution: 800 meters of power rail ensured balanced, efficient load distribution across all charging points.
  
• Zero disruption: All work was carried out during live airport operations, with no interruption to daily traffic.

The result:
A fully operational, grid-optimized charging park delivered on time, on budget, and ready for long-term scalability. 

On-site implementation was supported by AMBA Operations, a Munich-based infrastructure specialist.

A Blueprint for Sustainable Transport Hubs

Munich Airport’s new charging park goes beyond delivering power, it creates a scalable model for how transport hubs worldwide can integrate mobility, energy, and infrastructure to achieve real sustainability goals.

• Passenger convenience: Travelers can now recharge while parking or picking up visitors, aligning with average airport dwell times.
  
• Fleet electrification: Service and logistics fleets gain access to reliable, high-availability charging for daily operations.
  
• Smart grid integration: The eM4’s dynamic load management optimizes energy distribution across all chargers, reducing stress on the grid and minimizing the need for costly upgrades.

Together, these elements mean the project is not only an infrastructure upgrade, but a strategic investment in Munich Airport’s long-term operational resilience – reinforcing its role as a leader in sustainable aviation infrastructure.

Why Modularity is the Differentiator

In large-scale commercial environments, serviceability equals scalability. Traditional chargers can require full replacements or specialized intervention when faults occur; driving up both costs and downtime.

The Wallbox eM4 flips that equation:

• Plug-and-play servicing: Power modules can be swapped in minutes, no special tools required.
  
• Built-in redundancy: Dual sockets and independent power modules ensure one issue never halts charging entirely.
  
• Lean logistics: With only seven replaceable modules, operators need to stock fewer spare parts – streamlining maintenance logistics.

For operators managing hundreds of chargers, like Munich Airport, this modular flexibility translates directly into higher uptime, lower maintenance costs, and stronger ROI.

Collaboration that Scales Impact

This milestone is the result of strategic collaboration. Munich Airport provided the vision through its Net Zero 2035 strategy, AMBA Operations delivered large-scale deployment expertise, and Wallbox supplied the technology to tie it all together.

It’s proof that when innovators, infrastructure experts, and forward-thinking operators come together, electrification accelerates – not just in theory, but in practice.

Setting the Benchmark for Europe

Along with being an obvious infrastructure win, the launch of Munich Airport’s charging park is a signal to the entire industry.

With EV adoption in Europe expected to more than triple by 2030 (Rho Motion, Q3 2025), high-traffic transport hubs will need infrastructure that is:

• Reliable enough to keep pace with daily demand
  
• Modular enough to minimize downtime and service costs
  
• Scalable enough to expand alongside growing EV adoption

With 275 eM4 chargers now live, Munich Airport is setting the benchmark for what future-ready, airport-scale EV infrastructure looks like in Europe, and beyond.

The Bottom Line

Munich Airport’s 275-port charging hub proves that sustainability and operational excellence can go hand in hand.

With modular, scalable technology like the Wallbox eM4, the path from climate ambition to real-world implementation is no longer aspirational, it’s happening now.
