Parkade: Park at your building 4+

I own a Tesla, but I don’t have a charger in my parking space at my condo. However, a bunch of the other residents in the building do you have chargers. We tried to share their parking spaces via text message an email for a while, so that I could charge my car in the building, but it just never worked. It was a huge hassle.

Then we started using Parkade, and now it’s become super easy for those of us who own electric vehicles but don’t have a charger in our spot, to actually find a place to charge for a few hours or overnight. Love this app!

My building outsourced their parking to parkade. I have never been more stressed out about parking. First they raised the rates by almost double at the end of our leases. Second they put me through 3 days of calling chargepoint for HOURS when they said it was a connection issue on my end when in reality it was because of parkade mislabeling and mis-assigning chargers. Their alternative during that time I couldn't charge was to have me PAY to RENT another parking spot. They never once offered me compensation after wasting 3 days until they found out what was the issue, and then had ME explain it to them. Do I work for Parkade and didn't know?

Now they have other cars using my charger so I can't charge. They wrote to tell me it was because cars can share chargers. Well why couldn't I share a charger at the time when I couldn't access any other chargers in the lot at all?

My building started using Parkade earlier this year, and I downloaded the app about a month ago after our property manager sent out the link. It's been a HUGE help. I've finally been able to find parking for my guests (in my own garage). And last week my fiance moved in — with his car — and we were able to find a monthly parking spot for about $180/mo. Super helpful. Seems pretty easy to use too. I like the notifications.
