What to expect
Airport chargers are generally Level 2. Over a multi-day trip that's more than enough to top up. You still pay normal parking rates, and some sites add a charging fee or time limit.
Backup options
If every airport charger is taken, look up nearby fast chargers so you can top up before you return the car to the garage or on the drive home. Leaving the car at a sensible charge level also protects the battery during a long trip.
