NIO, a leader in premium smart electric vehicles, has partnered with Parkopedia to integrate advanced on-street parking services into all its European models. This collaboration delivers seamless parking solutions, leveraging Parkopedia’s high-quality data to enhance the driving experience for NIO users across Europe.
Key Highlights:
- On-Street Parking Feature: Available via a navigation app update on the NIO App Store.
- Comprehensive Data: Includes parking availability, pricing, and restrictions.
- User-Friendly Navigation: Displays parking likelihood with color-coded zones.
- Software Update: Banyan 2.4.1 rolls out enhanced driver assistance and media streaming.
The partnership addresses a critical need, as 92% of drivers globally struggle to find parking, according to the latest Global Driver Survey. Additionally, 77% of motorists prefer integrated parking services, underscoring the demand for such features. NIO’s new ‘On-Street Parking’ functionality, part of the Banyan 2.4.1 software update, provides detailed parking information directly within the vehicle’s navigation system. Drivers can view hourly rates, restrictions, and payment methods, with color-coded indicators—light blue for lower availability and dark blue for higher likelihood of free spaces—simplifying the parking process.
This update, delivered wirelessly through the NIO App Store, also introduces improved voice controls, upgraded media streaming, and a new app store, enriching the in-car experience. NIO’s rapid growth, with 2025 sales up nearly 50% year-on-year and cumulative deliveries nearing 750,000 by May 2025, highlights its commitment to innovation and user satisfaction.
Parkopedia, acquired by EasyPark Group in 2025, supports drivers in 90 countries with services like parking, EV charging, and toll payments. Markus Dohl, VP Europe at Parkopedia, emphasized the importance of high-quality data in reducing parking stress, ensuring NIO drivers benefit from verified, comprehensive information.
This collaboration positions NIO as a leader in connected car services, offering practical solutions that make urban driving more efficient and less stressful for its European customers.
