Best charging spots
These are the most reliable places to charge at Asheville Regional Airport:
- North Concourse gate-area seating — outlets/USB built into most seat rows since the June 2025 concourse opening
- Seating near Blue Ridge Trading + Tavern (Gate 3) if gate-area outlets are taken
- FuelRod SwapBox kiosks (3 terminal locations) — swap for a charged portable battery instead of hunting for an outlet
Dedicated charging stations
No standalone charging kiosk towers are listed on the airport's site; charging is built directly into North Concourse gate seating, supplemented by FuelRod SwapBox portable-battery kiosks.
Bring your own charging cable — dedicated kiosk stations at US airports provide the power outlet but not the cable. USB-A, USB-C, and standard 120 V outlets are the most common configurations.
Paid charging options
FuelRod SwapBox kiosks charge a fee to purchase or exchange a portable battery pack; standard wall outlets and gate-seating charging are free.. Free gate-area outlets are available throughout the terminal and are sufficient for most travelers — paid options are mainly useful if you need a secure place to leave your device unattended while it charges.
Pro Tip
AVL is a single small concourse with only 7 gates, so outlets are far easier to find than at a big hub — if your gate area is full, try the seating near Blue Ridge Trading + Tavern or grab a FuelRod on the way.
