It's in the Do-it parking at Migros Crissier

I'm not sure it's finished, because the leftmost space is not painted, and there are some more concrete foundations waiting to be installed

Unlike Bussigny there probably won't be 24h toilets here. But you have many stores during opening hours

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 😅

Have not been able to visit every Migros yet. In my sample, everywhere is a fail

Crissier and Yverdon-W, there is zero explanation. Evpass hotline has no idea why it doesn't work

Romanel, there are out of service signs, but they don't mention the new currently unsignalised Migrol chargers 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

Painting in progress... Don't know if they managed to finish before the weekend or if the chargers remain blocked

They should have deactivated the chargers to alert customers that the 400kW are not usable... 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

I do wonder as well. I regularly use the contactless readers at Shell, but only because it's my job to check what works and doesn't work at every station...

When charging only a few kWh it's actually cheaper to use the contactless reader instead of paying the 35ct start fee with RFID

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

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

Interesting "display" 🤔

Did anyone bother to test the translations? The text is all cut off at the wrong places 🙄

This is the i-light from i-charging with 2 PU300 power cabinets and 2 600A CCS dispensers

The CCS cables are officially rated for 500A, so there might be some further limit

The 2 additional PU300 cabinets next to the buffer batteries are for the additional car-only charger

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

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

Indeed! This is odd because at all other locations after Delémont (I think) they have always removed the AC when they added DC

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? 😅

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!

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

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

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 🫤

When they opened the first GOFAST+Aldi locations at 55ct/kWh I thought this would be an agreed upon price to attract customers

But then they increased the prices everywhere including McDonald's and Aldi...

Not too bad for the current national average, but not super attractive either

The first Aldi with a fast charger in Romandie, GOFAST Chatillens

8xCCS max 300kW
63ct/kWh contactless
24/7, free parking

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

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

The official 100th GOFAST station is Niederuzwil ALDI, opened at the end of September

Technically, it's more like the 110th station if we include those opened under GOFAST branding but later transferred to partners

Since then they have already opened 4 new stations!

Plenitude in Au (yes, it's a town name)

2xCCS, 75ct/kWh

You can't pay ad-hoc with browser, but you can use the app without an account. At that point, might as well register 🤷🏻‍♂️

I still haven't confirmed if it's 110kW max per site, or just a plug limit with 150kW to share 🤔 Not a lot either way

I'm trying my best to find positive things to say about MOVE, but I'm amazed how almost everything falls short of expectations 🫤

Good: there's a lamppost right above the chargers at Hexentobel Nord
Bad: it doesn't work and there are no other lights 😭

This Sunday #ladestau at GOFAST Sarnen. 2 cars had just arrived, I had to go somewhere else to charge

The van was there all day, 7h30 total according to the live data! I hope they were billed the 100CHF due in overstay fees 😡

The missing parking space at GOFAST Sirnach McDonald's has been painted

The construction work is finished, the new entrance is through Agrola

Still 4xCCS max 300kW, now 63ct/kWh ad-hoc
