Dedicated charging stations

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.
Pro Tip
PWM's whole gate concourse is a short walk end to end, so if the outlets near your gate are taken, it only takes a minute or two to check the worktables at the next gate cluster.
