Parkhelp Unveils G5 Sensor to Combat Charging Station Occupancy
Parkhelp, a leading innovator in parking guidance technology, has unveiled its latest solution, the G5 sensor, designed to tackle the growing challenge of charging station occupancy. With over 600,000 parking spaces installed in 54 countries and the largest number of chargers at airports worldwide, Parkhelp is well-positioned to address this issue.
The G5 sensor, a mobile, wireless device, uses Bluetooth to identify drivers and facilitate direct communication. It has a five-year lifespan and connects to cellular networks for real-time data transmission. The sensor not only detects vehicle presence but also verifies charger usage, preventing driver frustration. It offers versatile mounting options, including surface, buried, and high-temperature surfaces.
Parkhelp's strong foundation in technological innovation has led to this breakthrough. The company, formed by the merger of ParkHelp and Parking Sense, is known for its ultrasonic sensors and license plate reading cameras. Alexis Puig, founder of Parkhelp, shared details of the G5 sensor, highlighting its ability to address the common problem of chargers marked as available but actually occupied. This issue often arises due to parked vehicles not charging or only the charger being unoccupied.
The Parkhelp G5 sensor promises to enhance the charging station experience for electric vehicle users. With its advanced features and versatile mounting options, it can help increase return on investment for charger operators. Parkhelp operates as manufacturers, offering solutions directly and through distributors, and provides support up to equipment installation. The G5 sensor is set to make a significant impact on the charger infrastructure landscape, further cementing Parkhelp's position as a leader in parking guidance technology solutions.
