• On-street parking functionality to be introduced to all current NIO models available in Europe
• Parkopedia’s parking data feature to go live through a navigation app update via the NIO App Store within days
• Motorists will gain access to comprehensive parking details, including availability, pricing, and local restrictions
NIO has joined forces with Parkopedia to introduce on-street parking capabilities across its European vehicle line-up. This partnership will provide NIO drivers with advanced access to Parkopedia’s reliable parking data, making it significantly easier to locate and choose on-street parking spaces.
With 92% of drivers globally encountering difficulties in finding parking—according to the latest Global Driver Survey—connected vehicle features remain in high demand. Furthermore, 77% of respondents said they would prefer parking services to be built into their vehicles. NIO continues to respond to these expectations, posting a nearly 50% increase in sales this year and surpassing 750,000 cumulative deliveries as of May 2025.
The newly integrated ‘On-Street Parking’ feature will elevate the driving experience by enabling users to view street parking availability directly within the vehicle’s navigation system. Utilising Parkopedia data, the system visually represents the likelihood of open spaces—darker blue sections showing high availability and lighter blue indicating fewer chances.
Each parking area includes extensive information such as hourly charges, restriction details, and accepted payment methods, all designed to make journey planning smoother and arrivals notably less stressful. This update is part of NIO’s ‘Banyan 2.4.1’ software rollout, which will be distributed to all European NIO models in the coming days.
The update, delivered via the NIO App Store’s navigation app, introduces additional improvements such as real-time parking reports, on-street POI data, and other intelligent features—ranging from enhanced driver assistance to advanced voice control, better streaming options, and a redesigned app store interface.
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.”
