1. A ground service system for an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a charging module including a charging cable electrically connected to an energy source and configured to charge a battery of the electric aircraft;
a cooling module including a cooling channel configured to fluidly couple the electric aircraft to a first coolant source,
wherein the cooling module is configured to transmit a first coolant from the first coolant source and through the cooling channel to the electric aircraft to regulate a temperature of the battery;
a cabin soak module including a cabin soak channel configured to fluidly couple the electric aircraft and a second coolant source,
wherein the cabin soak module is configured to transmit a second coolant from the second coolant source through the cabin soak channel and into a cabin of the electric aircraft.
