Solving an urban problem: Park & Charge

30. April 2024

It’s no secret that finding adequate parking in urban centers can be difficult. When you add the need to charge an EV, the number of parking spaces becomes even more limited, and the process can be complicated. As mobility continues to evolve, meeting the moment of this challenge becomes increasingly important.

Park & Charge with ease

Recognizing this, Valtech Mobility has developed a sophisticated solution. In partnership with Parkopedia, we created a solution integrating their Park and Charge API into vehicles' infotainment systems. Powered by the versatile Android Automotive OS (a technology increasingly adopted by OEMs within their ecosystems, with many more poised to follow), this integration doesn’t only locate parking and charging spots but also facilitates direct in-car payment—a pivotal function in the realm of urban mobility.

As champions of a user-centric approach, we adapt features to cater to specific market requirements. In regions like the US, where parking reservation is common, Valtech ensures customization and convenience are at the forefront of all mobility solutions, offering drivers the ease of securing their spot directly from their car's interface.
