Parking and mobility

European parking and mobility in 2026

Cars still fill European cities, and EU rules are building charging around them. Destination parking sits where those two facts meet — useful context, not a promise of returns.

Fleet reality

The EU passenger car stock exceeded 260 million by end-2024[Eurostat]. Motorisation was about 0.55 passenger cars per inhabitant in 2023[Eurostat news]. Battery-only electric passenger cars reached almost 5.8 million in the EU by end-2024 (+30% year on year)[Eurostat].

Charging build-out

Publicly accessible recharging points reached 1,155,861 in May 2026 (+19.1% vs May 2025)[EAFO News Flash]. Preliminary May 2026 figures for reporting Member States show strong BEV registration growth alongside that network expansion.

Policy floor (AFIR)

Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR) has applied since 13 April 2024[European Commission]. It sets fleet-based public power targets (including ≥1.3 kW per BEV) and distance-based TEN-T fast-charging coverage toward 2030. That is a deployment obligation on Member States — not a return promise for any private investment.

What that means for parking assets

City parking already earns from scarce urban space. Where EV bays and add-ons sit alongside it, they can add income — parking stays the main stream on Parkeer Investeer listings. Macro facts do not set Parkeer Investeer target returns.
