One of the biggest advantages that Prague offers to EV owners is the possibility of free parking in purple and blue zones. Are you wondering if you qualify for free parking? The only rule for your vehicle is:
Vehicles with an EL series plate automatically qualify for free parking in purple and blue zones.
If your car doesn’t have this licence plate, you can get a parking permit for electric cars. The permit is issued by the Prague City Hall and comes with a handling fee of 100 CZK.
This benefit is available until the end of this year – 31 December 2024. So, if you own a vehicle with an EL series plate or have a valid parking permit for electric cars, you can park in these zones for free.
Yes! Certain hybrid vehicles can also benefit from free parking. The only condition for Hybrid cars to park for free in Prague is that their CO2 emissions can’t exceed 50 g/km.
In many parking areas, you’ll find spots reserved specifically for electric cars, marked with green signs labelled “EKO.” These spots are usually available, and you can avoid the difficulties of finding a suitable parking spot.
For easier parking of electric cars in Prague, we recommend using parking apps and the city’s websites.
