You cannot be serious. Parking fee would be ridiculous, not to mention what might happens to your vehicle while parked for such a long time in a stall.Is no one planning on leaving one at the airport for several weeks? Maybe a month? Plugging in isn't an option. I would really want a way to go to a low energy use state.
Uber?, Rental car (from home and drop off at the airport, and on return airport and drop off at home), friend/family, or some type of public transit?
Actually, this exact topic came up early in Tesla forum when Model 3 were starting to be populated. The best solution is to leave the vehicle plugged in at home and fine another way to get to the airport. That was about 3~4 years ago so there maybe a better answer.
Most camp grounds and cabins have at least 110/120V outlet that you can plug travel charger that comes with EVs into. That said, its the owner's responsibility to make sure that there is a public charging station near by (just as you would need a gas station near by). It takes extra planning and may limit camping options. In Tesla, there is a Camp mode to significantly reduce power consumption and I'm sure Rivian will have something similar at some point, if not already.What about going camping, a cabin, etc. There may not be an option for external power.
It will be a matter of time until someone will come up with portable generator with DC EV charging capability (using either propane or lots of solar panels). it won't charge at any great rate but in a pinch, it should be enough to keep the vehicle alive and build charge up over time (days...
