Share.P is an innovative plug-and-play system that digitalizes existing parking infrastructure by solving car parking and electric vehicle charging challenges. SEARCHING AND RENTING The app allows users to search for parking spaces, rent them, gain remote access to the parking entrance. It's a simple and easy way to save time, money and the environment. CHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLES Users with electric vehicles know how difficult it is to find a place to charge an EV. With the Share.P app, you can easily find and reserve a spot with a charger and plan your EV trip stress-free. EARN YOUR SPOT Do you own parking space but often leave making it unoccupied? Great deal! With the Share.P app you can make it available for short- or long-term rental by allowing other users to search and park their car on it during specific hours. SHARE WITH FAMILY When family or other guests visit, there's no need to search for additional remotes or key cards to enter the parking lot, just share the space in the app for a specific time. PARKING IN LARGE-AREA PARKING LOTS Anyone who has parked in a shopping mall knows what a problem it can be to leave the parking lot when you have lost or demagnetized your parking ticket. With the Share.P application this is a thing of the past. Now the user can download a parking ticket before going shopping and can pay for it in the application without worrying if he has coins, bills or a payment card on him. PARKING SPACE RESERVATION Going on a trip to another city or even country by car? You might want to plan for parking too! Sometimes the difficult parking regulations in city parking spaces cause a lot of stress. Now you can search for a spot and reserve it before you leave!
