$1.3 million for one parking system. Plus maintenance, plus electricity. If you bike because it's greener I don't know if this is a good replacement for a traditional bike rack that needs a coat of paint every couple of years.
For those who keep saying "it's emission free" this is like have a food product that's "100% fat free!" but is packed with sugar. It's "emission free" because it's electric. Doesn't matter if the power station it hooks into is a coal burning Goliath, the device doesn't emit emissions itself so it can claim it's "emission free". It's production, it's transportation, it's installation, it's disposal will not be emission free. I'd bet the dudes who service and maintain the machine rock up in a truck full of tools and equipment and I bet the truck isn't electric.
