The UK & European parking challenge

Britain is running out of parking space — just as every car needs a charger.

Urban land costs have never been higher. Heritage zones, planning restrictions, and dense city layouts make new surface car parks near-impossible to approve. Meanwhile, EV adoption is accelerating — yet most drivers have nowhere to charge overnight. A parking crisis and a charging crisis are arriving at exactly the same moment.

  • Surface car parks deliver poor returns on prime urban land — a wasted asset
  • EV drivers need reliable overnight charging — most lack off-street access
  • EU mandates EV charging in all car parks over 500 spaces from 2025
  • Traditional multi-storey car parks require deep excavation — costly and slow to approve

The Smart Park & Charge system

AI takes the wheel. You take the revenue.

Drive in. Step out. The system does the rest. AI allocates a space, an automated shuttle moves the vehicle to a stacked bay, and an under-vehicle charger connects automatically. Retrieve in under 60 seconds — fully charged.

Step 01
Drive to the entry bay
The driver pulls forward into a ground-level entry bay. No reversing, no manoeuvring, no barriers or ramps. The AI system automatically detects vehicle dimensions, checks for occupants, and confirms alignment — no QR codes or app login needed.
Step 02
AI allocates & dispatches
stupaOS selects the optimal space based on predicted retrieval time, battery state of charge, and bay availability. The high-speed ASV shuttle accelerates at 1.5 m/s² and places the vehicle precisely in the allocated three-layer stacking rack.
Step 03
Automatic EV charging
The under-vehicle ACDU unit automatically aligns and connects DC charging to the vehicle from below — no cable, no plug. Real-time BMS communication ensures battery-safe charging throughout. Neutron's platform manages load across all bays within the site's DNO limit.
Step 04
Retrieve in 60 seconds
The driver requests retrieval via app, web dashboard, or on-site screen. The shuttle retrieves the vehicle in under 60 seconds and delivers it to the exit bay — fully charged and ready to drive, with no waiting and no searching for a floor.
The driver experience

Drive in. Step out.
That's it.

No reversing, no ticket machines, no hunting for a space. The ground-level entry bay detects your vehicle automatically — AI checks dimensions, confirms alignment, and clears occupants in under 10 seconds. Walk away, and your car parks and charges itself.

  • No app, no QR code, no barrier — just drive in
  • Camera-based AI alignment — works with any vehicle
  • Retrieve in 60 seconds via app or on-site screen

System capabilities

Four engineering principles. One complete system.

4×
Capacity
More spaces, same footprint
Triple-layer stacking with double-sided bays delivers four times the capacity of an equivalent surface car park. Only a 0.5 m pit is required — no deep excavation, no basement, no structural complication. Modular cells can be added as demand grows.
60s
Speed
Continuous 60-second cycle
Military-grade rigid chain technology and rack-and-rail drive achieve 1.5 m/s² shuttle acceleration — overcoming conventional steel-rail friction limits. Millimetre-precision servo motors ensure reliable placement at speed. One shuttle processes a continuous flow of arrivals and retrievals simultaneously.
4×
Safety
Four-level fire protection
The most comprehensive EV fire safety stack available: per-bay smoke and temperature detection with 3D sprinkler suppression; dual-layer BMS monitoring at device and data level (36 fault models, 99% battery fire prevention); 60-second emergency vehicle transfer; and tiered submersion isolation to contain spreading. 21 real-world fire tests on record.
AI
Intelligence
stupaOS cloud platform
stupaOS builds a reinforcement learning behaviour model for every vehicle — predicting dwell time and retrieval probability to pre-position vehicles optimally. Dijkstra pathfinding and Monte Carlo simulation drive shuttle routing. The platform integrates with parking apps, payment systems, CPO networks, and building management software.

Rigid chain technology, 1.5 m/s² acceleration, and millimetre-precision servo motors — delivering vehicles to any of three stacking layers without friction, without failure.

Technical specifications

Built for every vehicle sold in the UK & Europe.

The system accommodates every production vehicle — from compact city EVs to full-size SUVs and MPVs. The rigid chain carrier handles up to 3 tonnes, covering all EV formats including the heaviest large-format electric vehicles.

  • All EVs, PHEVs, hybrids, and combustion vehicles — no exclusions
  • Under-vehicle DC charging via ACDU — no port modification required
  • Modular unit system — expand capacity by adding cells, no structural changes
  • Shallow 0.5 m pit — compatible with high water table and constrained urban sites
  • Neutron charging network integration via OCPP 2.0.1 and open APIs

Integrated EV charging

Every space is a charge point.
Zero effort for the driver.

The ACDU (Automatic Charging Docking Unit) sits flush in the parking bay floor. When the shuttle places a vehicle, the unit automatically aligns and connects DC charging from below. No cables, no plugs, no driver involvement. Neutron's charging management platform handles billing, load balancing, and grid reporting.

  • DC direct charging — fast, efficient, and cable-free for the user
  • Real-time BMS communication — battery-safe charging at all times
  • Load management — Neutron platform keeps site demand within DNO limits
  • Revenue-generating from day one — pay-per-session or subscription billing

Regulatory alignment

Smart Park & Charge meets the policies driving change.

Government mandates across the UK and Europe are creating the demand. Smart Park & Charge delivers the infrastructure answer.

United Kingdom
  • ZEV Mandate — 80% of new car sales must be EVs by 2030. Charging infrastructure demand follows proportionally.
  • EV Infrastructure Strategy — 300,000 public charge points needed by 2030. Smart car parks are a key delivery mechanism.
  • Building Regulations Part S — New non-residential buildings over 10 spaces must include EV charge points from 2022.
  • BREEAM & planning policy — Smart parking and EV charging credits contribute to sustainability-linked planning approvals.
European Union
  • AFIR 2023 — Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation mandates minimum charging density across TEN-T corridors from 2025.
  • EPBD — Car parks over 500 spaces must install EV charging for 1 in 5 spaces by 2025. Smart Park & Charge exceeds this by design.
  • France Loi LOM — Mandatory EV charging in all public car parks over 10 spaces. Retrofit obligations already active from 2025.
  • EU Green Deal — Carbon neutrality by 2050 drives sustained investment in zero-emission transport infrastructure across all member states.
