SKYCHARGE Can Charge Up To Four Electric Aircraft Simultaneously

The Pipistrel SKYCHARGE is the first EV charging station designed exclusively for electric powered aircraft. The company has developed two models of the SKYCHARGE. Both can charge up to four electric aircraft at the same time. The SKYCHARGE 40  will accommodate two aircraft at a 20 kW charge rates and one at a 40 kW charge rate. The SKYCHAGE 80 will accommodate four aircraft at 20 kW charge rates or two at 40 kW charge rates.

  • Extra-long, heavy-duty charging cables
  • Commercial grade retractable charging cable, retracts into weatherproof storage socket
  • Touchscreen LCD display to control all charging operations
  • LED indicator showing charge state. Visible from the aircraft when recharging
  • Zero maintenance requirements (except cleaning cooling filters, once per year)
  • Operates from mains electricity - multi voltage input
  • Operates from solar panel and battery system (optional)
  • Future proof design with Internet connectivity and full datalogging
  • Available open market, to all electric aircraft manufacturers

The Pipistrel SKYCHARGE is available in several configurations that can charge up to 4 aircraft simultaneously.

The SKYCHARGE is on display this week at AirVenture in the Pipistrel booth.
