London, UK / Gräfelfing, Germany - Parkopedia and NIO are working together to provide on-street parking functionality to all of the brand’s European models. This partnership sees extensive, high-quality Parkopedia data provided to NIO drivers, enabling them to easily locate on-street parking and decide where to park. Connected car services are in high demand with drivers globally, with 92% of motorists worldwide experiencing difficulties in finding parking, according to the most recent Global Driver Survey. Furthermore, 77% of drivers want integrated parking services in their vehicles, highlighting the value of OEMs making high-quality services available for their drivers. NIO, meanwhile, continues to grow rapidly around the world, with 2025 sales up by nearly 50% year-on-year and cumulative deliveries set to pass 750,000 in May 2025. The ‘On-Street Parking’ functionality, made available by this collaboration, provides a smarter, more convenient navigation experience for NIO drivers, helping them to find available parking, with street parking options shown directly on the integrated navigation system. In addition, the system uses Parkopedia data to highlight the likelihood of finding a space, with light blue sections showing lower likelihood and dark blue sections signifying a higher chance of free spaces being available. Drivers are able to view detailed information about each parking zone, including hourly rates, restrictions and accepted payment methods, helping them plan their journeys more efficiently and arrive less stressed at their end destination. NIO’s latest software update, ‘Banyan 2.4.1’, is rolling out in the next few days across all current NIO models in Europe. Delivered wirelessly via a navigation app update on the new NIO App Store, this update brings a host of new features, including parking situation reports and on-street POI information, plus intelligent enhancements designed to enrich the in-car experience, covering improved driver assistance, smarter voice controls, upgraded media streaming and a new app store. Markus Dohl, VP Europe at Parkopedia, said: “Finding available parking across Europe can be a stressful process, so we are pleased to empower NIO in providing a seamless in-car parking experience for its European drivers. Taking the stress out of the parking process and improving the driving experience requires extensive, high-quality base data, and this is why Parkopedia prides itself on only providing unparalleled complete and verified data.” About Parkopedia Parkopedia, acquired by EasyPark Group in early 2025, is the leading connected car services provider used by automakers, organisations and millions of drivers around the world.

New research from Parkopedia, part of EasyPark Group, reveals that 100% of drivers surveyed in the U.S. and Germany prefer in-car payment systems that are seamless, intuitive, and easy to use - emphasizing a clear and consistent preference for streamlined, user-friendly digital interactions while driving. The findings come from the In-Car Payments UX Focus Groups Research Study, conducted by Drive Research, to better understand how drivers engage with in-car payments and identify key areas for improvement for some of the current implementations. The study results highlighted respondents’ need for simplicity when first engaging with in-car payment systems, and revealed that complicated sign-up processes risk losing a significant share of users. Complex registration was cited by 70% of respondents as a deterrent to signing up, with half reporting it would make them less likely to use the service even if they completed registration. Notably, 77% of participants rated easy enrollment as ‘very important’. EasyPark Group, parent company to Parkopedia, already addresses this need for existing app users by offering user-friendly, in-car integrations with platforms like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, helping reduce complexity for users. “The strong interest toward in-car payment solutions globally provides a better understanding of the seamless journey drivers desire," said Eugene Tsyrklevich, General Manager of Automotive & Data at EasyPark Group. “Understanding driver reactions to this technology is more crucial than ever as connected car services gain prominence. This strategic alliance between EasyPark and Parkopedia uniquely positions us to develop and deliver transformative mobility experiences that directly address the demands of today's drivers.” As the study shows, ease of use and seamless integration are essential for building trust and adoption in the connected car space. The fundamental desire for convenience and streamlined payment processes within the vehicle is a shared priority of drivers across the U.S. and Germany. Across global markets, more than 93% of participants expressed a desire for efficient in-car payment systems. A closer look revealed nuanced distinctions and further insights unique to each market: 80% of U.S. drivers would be frustrated if their in-car system didn't alert them to nearby payment options, compared to 57% of German drivers – indicating stronger U.S. demand for real-time payment notifications. 70% of U.S. drivers expressed a willingness to pay more (either upfront or via subscription) to access in-car payments.  93% of German drivers were more likely to use systems that offered savings and loyalty discounts, highlighting a preference for direct, monetary benefits.  To investigate the effectiveness of in-car payment systems, Drive Research conducted parallel market research studies in the United States and Germany between October 2024 and February 2025. Across both markets, a total of 60 participants engaged with two in-car payment systems through the process of registering and completing transactions. These experiences included parking and charging in the U.S. and parking in Germany using identical tablets that presented an existing OEM service and a proposed updated version co-developed by Parkopedia and Valtech Mobility. This research aimed to provide a unified understanding of user experiences with in-car payment technologies across these key markets.

The International Parking & Mobility Institute (IPMI) recognized industry organizations that have achieved Accredited Parking Organization (APO) accreditation, earned the more stringent APO with Distinction, or re-accredited their APO.

Fort Lee, NJ — Parking Base, the leading provider of customized cloud-based parking management solutions, announced a major upgrade to Permit Manager, its industry-leading digital parking permit platform. With this new release, operators can now issue, price, bill, and renew permits with an unprecedented level of flexibility and control, redefining the standards for permitting flexibility. “These new capabilities and innovations are the result of input from our customers, and there isn’t a workflow our new Permit Manager can’t support,” said John Payne, Parking Base’s Chief Technology Officer. “We’ve supercharged the technology to handle every scenario or challenge our customers have presented. What’s really exciting is, we have now empowered our clients to drive even more revenue from new and existing customers.” Permit Manager removes the typical limitations imposed by legacy parking management platforms. Rather than dictating how permits will be managed, Permit Manager allows owners and operators to establish their own management parameters. For instance: Custom Permit Durations: Permit Manager moves beyond one-size-fits-all. Custom subscription terms allow for monthly, quarterly, annual, or custom period lengths -- whatever an operation demands. Owners can also create “time of day permits” to allow weekend only or evening only parking. Flexible Billing Dates: Permit Manager allows owners and operators to set billing cycles per permit however they wish -- upfront, mid-month, end-of-month, and anything in between. Owners can be as creative as they wish. For instance, they can offer a “promotional permit” with a discounted rate that expires on a specific date to help attract new customers. Auto-Renew or Expire: Permit Manager allows owners and operators to automatically control whether permits continue seamlessly or end after a set term, saving staff time and headaches. Special Permit Types & Controls: Permit Manager allows owners and operators to create custom permit types and rates with restricted access based on a unique URL or the user's email domain. For example, new commercial tenants can be offered a discounted rate and employees with the proper email domain can access the special rate. Operators Can Now Update Rates Instantly: With permit-level rate management, operators can adjust rates themselves in seconds, right from the back office. This means faster updates, better responsiveness to local demand, and less back-and-forth, putting more control in the hands of the people running the operation day-to-day. Custom Contracts and Documentation, Tailored To Each Permit: Operators can now set specific contracts and documentation requirements for individual permit types, allowing each permit to have its own terms and paperwork built right into the system. This helps ensure compliance and keeps the process clean and efficient for operators and parkers. “This update is more than just added convenience—it’s operational power,” said Ebby Zachariah, CEO of Parking Base. “Permit Manager allows you to adapt to seasonal patterns, meet complex customer needs, and fulfill even the most nuanced operational requirements—right out of the box, no workarounds or custom development required. The flexibility built into this release opens the door to countless creative applications, giving you the freedom to design permit programs that truly fit your operation, not the other way around.” For more information about Parking Base and its solutions, please visit www.parkingbase.com.
