Holiday fast charging prices in Switzerland - no crazy changes Electra increased their contactless price but you can still pay the old price with QR or app Tesla increased their peak price while lowering the night/morning prices even more AMAG special price ends soon Safe travels everyone!

22 new fast charging sites opened so far in December! 94 new connectors Top (sites/plugs): 5/30 GOFAST 4/16 Electra 4/8 Eni The new Tesla Crissier supercharger is hidden behind the Electra marker. They opened last but will probably still see the most sessions in December

Typical Shell Recharge + EATON GMDC66 experience: one unit dead, one unit with broken screen When it works you have almost no chance to reach the advertised 66kW max because it can only do 500V/165A And you pay 89ct/kWh ad-hoc for this incredible service! In Mettmenstetten

Fast charger stuck occupied for more than a day... Surely it's a system glitch? Nope, it's a Post employee leaving their van on the 360kW charger for the weekend 🤬 They were here for 30 hours total according to the live data

Electra just opened 3 new stations in Switzerland 🤯 - Diepoldsau (SG) at Coop - Sargans/Wangs (SG) at Burger King - Crissier (VD) at ibis

GOFAST have lost their only location in Zürich city SOCAR are now operating their own charger at Hohlstrasse 2xCCS max 150kW It's actually a price decrease for contactless customers, from 70ct/kWh down to 65ct/kWh Regular RFID customers need to watch out for roaming fees!

Remote session following coming to Alpitronic! Not sure about the 41MWh total 🤔 It's my Fiat, not a cargo ship They chose the "Siemens" unhelpful approach to tooltips instead of copying Kempower. Just show the damn power limit reason you already know! 🤬 Seen at GOFAST Oensingen

New Migrol fast charger in Allschwil (BL) 2xCCS max 200kW, 55ct/kWh 2xCCS max 300kW, 59ct/kWh Layout either very practical or very unpractical depending on your car

Find the problem 🤡 @fastned.bsky.social

I returned to Fastned Kloten Nord last Sunday, but the lounge was not yet open 🫤 No point paying 73ct/kWh if you don't even have toilets...

Festive spirit at Electra They modified the look ❄️ and sound 🔔 of the Electraline for the holiday Apparently I can't post multiple videos here, I'll put the end sound in the reply 👇🏻

Electra have opened their 4th station in Zürich, a whole 300m away from the last one 🧐 At ibis City West 4xCCS up to 300kW Parallel parking in a cul-de-sac, good luck with space 4! Now all swiss stations at 64ct/kWh contactless, or 59ct/kWh with QR or app

Just opened, IONITY Basel*! 6xCCS max 400kW 2xCCS max 350kW *actually in Münchenstein

AVIA VOLT priorities: ❌ Send someone to activate the contactless reader ✅ Send someone to put a new out of service sticker on the reader No ad-hoc payment option. Not even a QR code 🤷🏻‍♂️ In Mettmenstetten

Slow progress at the 3(!) Electra stations of Affoltern am Albis Including the 4 spots off-freeway that I missed last time East side has been paved and bollards installed. Didn't see anything new on the almost finished West side

What's going on here? Can we use the left connector? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don't see the purpose of the ribbon if the only problem is the broken and already de-activated right connector SOCAR Raststätte St. Katharina Süd

It'll buff out 😅 At Fastned Suhr

Still not allowed to pull-through at M-CHARGE Shell Renens 🙁 2xCCS max 128kW 55ct/kWh Some of the cheapest fast charging around Lausanne!

There's now a price totem at Decathlon Bussigny, so you can know to avoid their chargers from even further away! And the contactless reader is still not working either. Expensive AND a hassle 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was looking forward to finally visit the new Glooten rest stops now that MOVE have been showing the chargers online for a week Whoops, the chargers work but the rest stops are still closed 🤬

Upgrade or downgrade? The 120kW ABB Terra charger at Schubiger Möbel in Regensdorf has been replaced with a 50kW Alpitronic Still networked through MOVE

Upgrade at the Eniwa station at Coop Pronto Oberentfelden The CHAdeMO has been replaced by a CCS Both CCS now have longer cables, but unfortunately no cable management arms 60ct/kWh with Swisscharge/QR Max 80kW

Was my new secondhand Fiat 500e a good deal? I talk about it with Simplement Julien (in French) youtu.be/OGhXgs2PtTI

SOCAR are expanding most of their rest stops locations In November, it was the turn of Eggberg, now with 6 charging spots The power confusion continues, now with 3 different units, 150kW (unlabeled), 300kW, 400kW. At least they are sorted here 😅 Still 75ct/kWh

Good news for international travelers, you can now download the chargeON app and presumably access the AMAG network at the unbeatable 0.28CHF/kWh price! Please let me know if that's actually working 🙂

Since June, Shell Recharge Hunzenschwil has a roof! Based on other pictures I saw online, it seems like within a week a truck had already hit it. It's now repaired and a big concrete block was added I was surprised to not find any spot ICEd. Google Maps is full of such complaints

Progress report at Electra in Affoltern am Albis Southbound looks almost finished Northbound is the only one with Electraline design

Contactless finally operational at T-Electric in Herrlisberg Nord! 73ct/kWh with 150CHF reservation 😐 Some of the other payment options: QR 69ct/kWh+3ct/min MOVE 89ct/kWh Swisscharge 69ct/kWh Agrola 62ct/kWh How can Agrola be cheaper than MOVE who is the Tamoil partner???

Is this heaven? Hundreds of chargers under Quartier en Dorigny in Chavannes-près-Renens (next to Lausanne) 45ct/kWh Only 3 of them are in the Migros parking area, but it might be possible to use the dozens on general "visitor" spaces Parking is pricey though

Where's the fun if the overstay fees are capped at 50CHF? 🤪 At Agrola, not my session. I don't have the budget to run such tests 😅 In this case (21h+ blocked 😱) I believe the charger actually crashed and the charge could not be stopped. I hope the customer was refunded

The first Fastned location in Switzerland not on a rest stop is open! 300m from the Kloten Nord exit near Zürich Flughafen 4xCCS up to 400kW(?) 73ct/kWh With lounge! I came a day too early, it wasn't actually open yet yesterday evening. Need to go back!

Now open! 4xCCS max 300kW If you are an ex-evpass customer, don't forget to check your emails for the free 3 months of Shell e-Deal, bringing all Shell DC chargers down to 59ct/kWh! Or pay ad-hoc 89ct/kWh 💀

Even more payment backend changes in Switzerland! The NatuRELL network is changing from Mobilecharge to eCarUp That's about 15 stations, one of which is the double 50kW at Coop Pronto, now at a reduced price of 50ct/kWh instead of 60ct/kWh Roaming does not appear enabled yet

Plot twist! At Migros Yverdon-Ouest, they re-enabled the charger in free vendor mode while waiting for the new chargers But... Just the one. The other 3 are turned off Welcome back to 2015, fighting over the free plug! (translation below 👇🏻)

Temperatures drop below freezing IONIQ 28kWh: hold my cobalt This battery really doesn't care about any external factors. It'll charge at 175A through the apocalypse 💪🏻

Never seen this one before! Obviously the charge never resumed... 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think EATON should just rename every message with "Try another charger" because you're usually wasting your time trying to make a particular unit work

According to my estimates, Electra have surpassed 6'000 monthly sessions in Switzerland last month, almost 12x as many as October 2024, and infinitely more than May 2024, when they opened their first Swiss station!

Electric buses in Interlaken region have been in service for a little while now Seem to mostly run the flat routes, but occasionally they do the mountains as well My biggest complaint would be the high pitched noise when using regen in long slopes Lack of vibrations is amazing

This time of year, mind the winter restrictions signs popping up in many parkings Many chargers cannot be used through the night, but some like in Crisser have unusual times, in this case during the mid-day break ⚠️ I wonder if they move the Mobility car to clear snow off the EV spots

A 50kW charger with a 30min time limit 😐 AND they bill for time as well, 2CHF/h In absolute best scenario that's 11kWh on AC or 25kWh on DC (125A cable 😬). Only ever good for topping up, that's not enough to charge any vehicle! Le Pit-Stop Boudevilliers

Contactless now enabled at Energie360° Coop Bassecourt This is the first DC charger with contactless in Delémont district, crazy! Agrola, Eni, AMAG and Tellis don't offer it. GOFAST, Fastned, Shell offer it in the Ajoie district 150kW charger still (incorrectly?) labelled 75kW

Size doesn't matter ...if the parking is gravel with no painted lines 😄

GOFAST Sursee ALDI, opened a month ago Nice larger and more powerful station to complement the existing chargers at Coop Pronto Less ideal at rush hour due to traffic Extremely disappointed, 1st charger did not deliver, limiting to 30kW without explanation. Had to switch unit 67ct/kWh ad-hoc

It's probably difficult to do much better with the space available, but this layout is extremely annoying if your charge port isn't in the front or rear right 😬 Maybe a satellite solution like Kempower would have been better suited In Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne

Tesla's standards are really slipping. First they misspell kWh, then they mix up Switzerland and Sweden 😱

AVIA Volt in Ebnat Kappel 2xCCS sharing 60kW + AC 22kW What exactly is the business model here? It's a nice place to plug in and go for a walk for half a day, but is that really the goal of a service station? 🤔 Get some buffer batteries in here if needed! 🔋🔋🔋

Enjoy the view... For 81ct/kWh 💀 In Aeschi bei Spiez by an unknown Swisscharge partner

Second charger coming soon to Shell in Thun center 👀 First time Shell upgrades an existing station in Switzerland

New SOCAR charger in Affoltern am Albis 2xCCS max 150kW 65ct/kWh contactless As of last week, the spaces were not painted yet. Even stranger, the left spot was reserved for a taxi company 🤔

Don't expect to charge on inauguration day, even if the app says available... I lost my time in queue, just to find the chargers blocked 😕 2 cars managed to plug in... But had to share a unit Migros Uznach Usserhirschland 6xCCS max 50kW Parking open 24/7 Photos October 24
