Mayor Chiang Wan-an has set a vision of making Taipei a future city driven by technology, sustainability, and carbon reduction. Expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure has become a major policy priority under this goal. Since 2023, the Parking Management Office has implemented multiple policies to accelerate installation across the city. Taipei achieved full charging station coverage in all city-managed parking facilities by the end of 2024, the first city nationwide to reach this milestone. By the end of November 2025, public parking facilities across Taipei had installed 1,488 charging stations. Adding 433 stations located in registered private parking lots brings the citywide total to 1,921 charging stations, the highest number in Taiwan.

Public and Private Cooperation Speeds Up Installation

Early construction received joint funding support from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the city government. Beginning in 2024, Taipei also provided private parking operators with installation subsidies of NT$10,800 per charging station, reducing upfront investment costs and encouraging participation.

As the market matured, the city shifted public parking projects from government-led construction to public-private partnership models, allowing professional operators to improve installation and operational efficiency while reducing government financial burden.

The Parking Management Office also organized workshops in 2024 to explain subsidy programs and technical requirements to private operators and public institutions, accelerating installation progress across the city.

Charging Information Integrated into Public Services

In addition to hardware construction, Taipei has strengthened information services to support EV users. Charging station data is now integrated into the city’s “Taipei Parking” app through a new charging map. Users can easily check station locations, availability, pricing, and charging power information in real time.

The city has also opened charging station data through public platforms, allowing developers and map service providers to create new applications and integrated mobility services.

Comprehensive Safety Measures Implemented

Safety management accompanies charging station expansion. Every charging point is equipped with fire extinguishers, while indoor parking facilities also include fire blankets. Charging stations are installed near fire hose access or emergency exits for quicker emergency response.

An Energy Management System monitors charging power usage to prevent overload during peak demand. Each station has an independent electricity meter to reduce fire risk. Emergency shut-off buttons allow immediate power disconnection, and reporting systems connect directly with operators to ensure quick incident response.

Subsidies Continue Toward 2030 Expansion Goal

Looking ahead, Taipei has set a goal of installing 3,175 charging stations in public parking facilities by 2030. Beginning in 2025, public parking projects will continue receiving NT$60,000 per station in subsidies, while private operators remain eligible for NT$10,800 per station. These measures aim to further expand EV charging infrastructure across the city.
