The Taipei City Parking Management and Development Office (PMDO) has installed electric vehicle (EV) chargers in public off-street parking lots in compliance with the regulation requiring chargers for 2% of total small-car parking spaces. In order to reduce the time EV drivers spend circling to find available chargers and suitable parking lots, the PMDO has upgraded the Taipei Easy Parking website (https://itaipeiparking.pma.gov.taipei/) to include the new Taipei EV Charging Map. The map can be accessed on mobile devices or computers and provides a simple and clear interface showing charger usage, availability, and whether fast or slow charging is offered.

The PMDO has been actively working with schools, sports centers, and private operators to expand EV charger installation using public resources. These partners are required to submit charging facility data in a standard format, which is then integrated and published by the PMDO on the Taipei Easy Parking website, which allows citizens to quickly and accurately check real-time charger availability. In addition, the PMDO is collaborating with the Department of Industrial Development to include information from 29 fast-charging stations with 114 chargers, offering the public even more options.

The EV Charging Map displays both fast and slow charging services across parking lots and fast-charging stations, making it easier for drivers to find chargers that fit their travel needs. Since EV chargers vary in current, power levels, and connector types, the map also shows whether chargers are AC or DC and lists the number of each connector type. This feature helps drivers avoid wasting time traveling to a station only to find incompatible equipment. Built-in location and navigation functions further assist users in finding and navigating to suitable parking facilities.

Going forward, the PMDO will continue improving Taipei’s EV-friendly green-energy environment by providing accurate, transparent charging information and expanding public access to parking data, building a more efficient, smarter, and sustainable transportation system.
