With today’s MOBIX Park & Charge launch, a new era of electric vehicle parking and charging has begun. Dubbed by many as the “Airbnb for parking and charging,” MOBIX Park & Charge tackles three of the biggest mobility challenges: too few parking spaces, too few charging stations, and too much traffic congestion – along with stressed drivers and unnecessary CO2 emissions.
With MOBIX, drivers can find private parking spaces and charging stations, reserve them, and pay directly through the app. Private individuals can offer parking spaces and charging stations, reducing traffic problems while earning extra income.
As public parking becomes increasingly scarce due to urban calming measures and existing parking garages fail to meet demand, many vacant yet previously inaccessible private parking spaces exist, especially in city centers. However, many of these private parking spots remain unused for large parts of the day. With MOBIX, parking space owners now have the opportunity to rent out their spots during these idle periods: specify the available times in the MOBIX app and wait for the first rental requests – done!
For drivers, MOBIX is a lifesaver: they can find and even reserve a parking spot near their destination, ensuring it’s available upon arrival. For parking space owners, MOBIX offers an easy way to generate additional income.
Like parking spaces, MOBIX enables users to find and reserve available private charging stations. This is a relief for electric vehicle drivers: Anyone who has searched for public charging stations knows the struggle—there are too few, and the available ones are often out of service. In the MOBIX app, users can locate public and private charging stations, reserve them, and pay via credit card or MOBIX crypto tokens.
MOBIX CEO Michael Reuter on the benefits of Park & Charge: “With MOBIX, we aim to achieve for parking and charging what Airbnb has accomplished for accommodations: better utilization of vacant, unused capacity. This creates a larger supply for consumers, eases traffic, helps reduce CO2 emissions, and enables households to earn extra income.”
MOBIX Park & Charge is available immediately as an update to the popular MOBIX app, which is internationally available in English on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
