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

Update on this session: I was not billed anything 🤔 (with TWINT)

"Payment failed. The reservation amount was reimbursed"

The status page was not showing anything during my session, but I did charge at least 2kWh as indicated on the charger screen

Today's useless graph brought to you by the team at i-charging

With all the nonsensical interface choices, I refuse to believe their UI team has ever used one of their chargers, or an electric car for that matter 🤦🏻‍♂️

Construction of the Electra stations on both sides of the Affoltern rest stop has begun

Southbound looks like the first Electra pull-through of 🇨🇭 though there won't be space for trailers 🥲

6 charging spots both ways
November 6, 2025 at 10:08 AM
In September, the ABB Terra at the Deitingen Nord rest stop was replaced with an Alpitronic HYC_50

No more AC or CHAdeMO

You can now enjoy 150A and 800V charging, though if you end up sharing it'll be slower than before

0.5621CHF/kWh [very precise 🤔] TWINT or credit card QR

Migros Crissier will soon have a similar setup to Bern Westside

12x 50kW by Migrol
12x 250kW by Tesla

Just a shame that customers are left with no interim charging solution after the 6x AC were disconnected 🫤
November 4, 2025 at 1:01 PM
New Tesla Crissier Supercharger seems almost ready to relieve some pressure off Bussigny

12 spots, V3.5, already says open to all EVs

First time we see this 2-by-2 configuration in 🇨🇭

It's not ICEd now, but you can be certain that once it works it will be a problem 😬

SOCAR Wohlen appears to have been out of service for 2 months

No explanation on location, is it because of the construction work on the wall?

I think the yellow cable might be the charger power, obviously you want that covered before resuming operation 😅

Migros Vaud are leaving their electric customers confused and stranded

The contract between Migros and Romande Energie expired, many chargers remain powered on without any obvious sign they cannot be used

Customers are still trying and failing to charge ONE MONTH LATER

Zero thought given in Bretigny-sur-Morrens

Hidden dirt hole around the tree that you have to walk into to take the CCS. Worse when it rains and becomes muddy 🤦🏻‍♂️

Second AC cable holder placed on the hedge side when it's perfectly possible to configure it on the road side 🤷🏻‍♂️

AVIA VOLT on St. Margrethen Süd is in service

The parking spaces were not yet painted when I visited last week. I wonder how exactly they will draw them. I tried, but even with my tiny car I can't plug in when parking forward 🙄

Contactless not yet in service

75ct/kWh

First buffer battery at Shell Switzerland

The 50kW charger in Solothurn has been replaced with a 150kW charger

Until now, only Agrola had used these eON chargers

No special price, 89ct/kWh ad-hoc
October 29, 2025 at 12:12 PM
SOCAR Schölfeld has been upgraded from 4 to 8 charging spots

Now featuring their first 400kW chargers for cars!

The parking spaces for the new chargers are not painted yet. Presumably they will be straight like the others

75ct/kWh contactless
October 28, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Most powerful public charger in 🇨🇭 at AGROLA Konolfingen

Not an Alpitronic... But i-charging!

They claim up to 600kW, and it might be possible at the 1000V cutoff, but more realistically you could get 400-500kW at 600A

1.5MW/1.5MWh buffer battery

Can be upgraded to MCS later
October 27, 2025 at 12:19 PM
Construction of the Electra station at Shoppi Tivoli (Spreitenbach) appears to have begun!

It's next to the AC chargers on the Shoppi side, level 0

There's space for 12 fast chargers, will they equip the whole at once?

The parking cost has risen significantly since my last visit. 1h=2CHF
October 26, 2025 at 1:23 PM
Migros Herisau is the only M-CHARGE location with more connectors than parking spaces 🤔

2xCCS max 50kW + 1xAC

I wonder why they kept one AC when they added the DC charger in July. Perhaps the store manager owns a PHEV and forced them to do so? 😅
October 25, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Coop Lyss Stigli by Energie360°

⚡ 4xCCS max 50kW
⚡ 55ct/kWh, with Swisscharge or contactless
⚡ 2h free parking

The angled parking spaces can create some challenges, but those Alpitronic cables are actually quite long!
October 23, 2025 at 10:28 AM
Urban DC charging in Villeneuve

Reasonable price at 59ct/kWh

But not a very good hardware choice, they probably had to buy it under contact from Evpass back in the day

CCS up to 44kW with 110A limit, no 800V support, one of 2 units currently out of service
October 22, 2025 at 11:50 AM
Shell Recharge in Palézieux, opened in September

Very cute setup, though not friendly for long vehicles. You might be able to park at pump 5 in front of the shop and reach with the cable

4xCCS max 300kW
Usual 89/79/59 ct/kWh depending on subscription
October 21, 2025 at 12:31 PM
The 2 SOCAR rest stops near Saint-Maurice have been equipped with contactless readers

They don't follow the "Express" pricing and are their only chargers on a freeway at the off-freeway price of 65ct/kWh

The reader was out of service in the northbound direction though 🫤
October 20, 2025 at 11:25 AM
The first Aldi with a fast charger in Romandie, GOFAST Chatillens

8xCCS max 300kW
63ct/kWh contactless
24/7, free parking
October 19, 2025 at 5:33 PM
New charger in downtown Aigle, Clos des Messageries

Listed as 100kW in the app, but the hardware is only capable of 60kW 🤷🏻‍♂️

69ct/kWh
With MOVE account +25ct/min after 1h
With ad-hoc +3ct/min thorough

No cell signal so good luck paying via QR code

Parking 2CHF/h during the day, 50ct/h at night
October 18, 2025 at 12:52 PM
The largest Shell Recharge station in 🇨🇭 opened on Relais du St-Bernard in September

8xCCS max 300kW
89ct/kWh ad-hoc, 79ct with contract, 59ct with abo (9.95CHF/month)

With a roof!

There are now 34 fast chargers on this rest stop! But 20 are Tesla-only
