EV charging options at Glasgow Airport
An electric car at Glasgow has three options: top up at the Osprey rapid hub, use a charger on the airport site, or book parking that charges the car while you fly.
16 chargers of up to 300kW, open 24 hours, about ten minutes' drive from the terminal.
A small number of public chargers on the airport site, first come, first served.
Park and ride in Linwood where staff charge the car during your trip.
Chargers on the Glasgow Airport site
Glasgow Airport's parking pages do not list EV charging, and several chargers on the site are for staff only.
| Location | Postcode | Chargers | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Gate | PA3 2SG | 2, up to 50kW, 40p per kWh | No restriction listed |
| Admin car park | PA3 2SW | 2 at 22kW | Staff only |
| Caledonia Way | PA3 2ST | 9, from 11kW to 120kW | Staff only |
These figures come from the Zapmap charging map and can change. Do not rely on a free bay being available on the morning you fly.
The Osprey rapid charging hub near Glasgow Airport
The Osprey hub on Saturn Avenue, in the Phoenix retail area of Paisley, has 16 chargers of up to 300kW and opened in July 2025.
It runs 24 hours, and Osprey says a typical car adds about 100 miles in ten minutes. The hub is about ten minutes' drive from the terminal, so it fits neatly between the M8 and the car park.
Parking that charges your car at Glasgow
Skyport Electric Parking, on Burnbrae Drive in Linwood (PA3 3BU), charges your car during the trip and runs a six-minute shuttle 24 hours a day.
Bring your own charging cable. Staff move the car off the charger once it is full. Skyport also runs a standard park and ride, compared in our Glasgow park and ride guide.
Planning a Glasgow trip with an electric car
Arrive with enough charge for the drive home, because a week parked will cost a few per cent of battery and the airport chargers are limited.
| Car park | Type | Transfer | 8 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scot Park Park & Ride | Park & Ride | Shuttle from Paisley, 1.4 miles | £32.88 |
| Official Long Stay | Park & Ride | Free electric shuttle, under 5 min | £40.59 |
Official Long Stay's shuttle is electric and runs every 10 to 15 minutes, 24 hours, and you keep your keys. Our Glasgow Airport parking guide ranks every option.
