I have read that DIA has installed 11 L1 chargers, split between the East and West parking garages. Which is cool, and all I would need, but does anyone know if DIA has outlets just hanging around the normal garage areas?
I always drive the Prius up to the airport and park in the garage anyways. I live 75miles from DIA (in Colorado Springs) so it would be a low speed 100% charge drive on the Leaf if it could make it, but then I would be stuck there without a charge. I am usually gone for at least the weekend so L1 charge time I don't care about. I always keep my L1 EVSE with me and use it exclusively. No L2 for me.
I think I could take CO-83 up to E-470 into the airport at slower speeds without being shot for holding up traffic. I am thinking my normal 85-100mph driving up I-25 would end in a dead Leaf somewhere around Castle Rock. It would be awesome if there was an L3 there! Oh well.
My question is does anyone know if there are normal outlets sprinkled throughout DIA garages already? It seems like there is because I saw this quote on one of the articles about EV charging at DIA (http://www.cleanenergyauthority.com/solar-energy-news/dia-to-add-10-level-1-ev-chargers-082313" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false:

The airport is offering the charging stations in response to an increase in spotting more EVs there. “We have seen an increase in the number of customers who drive electric vehicles to the airport and plug them into existing electrical outlets in the garages,”
From DIA's website:
Level 1 Electric Charging Stations
DIA has a total of 11 Level 1 electric vehicle charging stations available close-in on Level 1 of the parking garages, rows E and F. These spaces have designated Electric Charging Station signs and are available on a first come, first serve basis. Standard parking rates apply.
Six in the East Garage (Level 1, Rows E and F)
Five in the West Garage (Level 1, Rows E and F)
And for hybrids as well:
Parking Spaces Reserved for Hybrid Vehicles
DIA has designated a total of 18 parking spaces in our garages and economy lots and 32 spaces in the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot for hybrid vehicles. The hybrid parking spaces are in the following locations:
Thirty-two spaces in the Pikes Peak Shuttle Lot:
Four each at shelters D1 and D4
Four each at shelters J1 and J4
Four each at shelters O1 and O4
Four each at shelters S1 and S4
Six in the East Garage (Level 1, Rows E and F)
Six in the West Garage (Level 1, Rows E and F)
Three in East Economy (Section 2, Row D)
Three in West Economy (Section 1, Row D)
Hybrid vehicle parking spaces are close-in, near handicap parking in the garages, and are close to shuttle pick-up and drop-off shelters in the economy lots. Parking spaces are designated with signs that read, "Reserved Parking, Hybrid Vehicle Parking Only." These spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis. Standard parking rates apply.
