MiPermit and ParkRecharge unified payment system achieves 67 per cent adoption in Ipswich rollout

MiPermit and ParkRecharge have launched an integrated cashless solution combining parking fees and EV charging payments in a single transaction, now live in Ipswich. Initial results show 67 per cent of drivers using EV chargers chose MiPermit to pay for both services. The partnership also addresses abandoned UK charging infrastructure, with ParkRecharge managing over 80 per cent of fault fixes remotely to revive non-functional hardware from providers that have exited the market.

Why it matters: The 67 per cent adoption rate demonstrates strong user demand for unified payment systems, a key consideration for councils and operators procuring new charging infrastructure. ParkRecharge's remote maintenance capability and willingness to rehabilitate abandoned assets offers a potential solution for authorities managing stranded hardware from defunct providers.
