Good points. I expect that most of their audience doesn't have that edge case You could submit multiple answers as different members of the household, each with their own primary car. But I understand that doesn't really show the reality of choosing the car for each trip 😅

They can probably do with more from everywhere 😀 I've been told by our swiss representatives that we haven't quite yet reached the 100 answers to be included in the report

If you drive electric, consider taking part in the Global EV Alliance 2026 Driver Survey! Takes a few minutes and is anonymous. They still need more answers from Switzerland globalevalliance.com/survey-2026/

This is crazy. Tesla Supercharger Crissier is currently 0.95CHF/kWh for non-Teslas (12h-20h) The most expensive I have ever seen a Supercharger. Might be the highest contactless price in the country That's a 61% increase over the 0.59 Tesla/member price

For those who don't want to pay as much, on the other side of the road from Electra in Sion there's M-CHARGE at Tourbillon Centre 4xCCS max 200kW 0.55CHF/kWh Lit and accessible 24/7, but signage at entrance has not been updated, it still says you're not allowed to park here 🙄

But the professionalism took a big hit 🙉

That's just how it's shown when already occupied 🙂 The issue I noticed does not prevent the use of the QR, but if you look closely at the printed version there's something that shouldn't be there 🖱️

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 27/09/2026
What's wrong with this QR code? 🖱️🤣

Electra at Moxy Sion While the charging spaces seem to be managed separately, they are inside the camera-controlled hotel parking, so you might get a fine if you spend more than 90 minutes (queue+charge?) without registering at the hotel 😬

It's the same shopping center 🙂 I think the section of parking where the chargers are installed has a direct staircase into Denner, hence the sign

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 26/09/2026
This sign had me so confused until I understood which number meant what There are 4 charging spots plus a dozen regular parking spaces down there Migros Urnertor Altdorf

Someone call the unit police! In Clarmont

Migros Saint-Maurice was migrated from 1xAC Valt to 4xDC M-CHARGE Open 24/7, but there's a 1h parking limit enforced with cameras. That's not enough for a proper charge at 25kW, or even 50kW!

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 24/09/2026
Actually, it seems like Electra killed QR payment. RIP🪦 The QR codes on the station now only direct you towards the app
010
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 24/09/2026
Electra Courrendlin is open! But not yet visible in the app I think I'm the first customer 6xCCS max 300kW 0.69CHF/kWh contactless 0.64CHF/kWh app/QR It should be open 24/7, but I don't have a definitive confirmation yet

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 23/09/2026
Why just 2 hours though? 🤔 Is this a limitation on the older Terra chargers, or all ABB chargers?
001
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 23/09/2026
Originally all chargers had the config 1 CCS 2 CHAdeMO 3 CCS 4 CHAdeMO Then they removed all the number 2, and all but one number 4 This caused all the numbers to shift Instead of printing new stickers, they peeled them off and reused them, not noticing the connector names 🤦🏻‍♂️
010
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 23/09/2026
More GOFAST fails... Good thing nobody reads connectors labels or relies on those European plug letters 🙄 Numbers are correct, but the type is wrong. Affects 4 out of 7 in Martigny It's not a print or installation error, it's just absolute laziness. See below for details 👇🏻

The number of fast chargers in the Delémont district is about to double 🤩 Electra opening soon in Courrendlin, Delémont-Est highway exit on A16

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 21/09/2026
Forget MCS, I'm charging at 5MW on AC right now! eCarUp shows some really outlandish values sometimes, I wonder if that's a problem with the charger or the backend
020
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 20/09/2026
GOFAST coming soon to Aldi Noville Well placed near the highway exit Unfortunately you'll have to walk to one of the gas stations for toilets...

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 19/09/2026
At some stations, all EVTEC in my test, the reader takes the money but nothing starts. There's no way to cancel the transaction to make certain that you don't accidentally pay for someone who plugs in next Also can't change the language of the error messages 3/3
060
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 19/09/2026
If a customer cause the reader to enter the "retry" state, but then leaves, the reader stays in this mode and the next customer cannot see the price To reset the reader without authorizing a charge, it seems like you need an expired card, or badge an RFID on the contactless 2/3
150
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 19/09/2026
I could not test what happened if 2 users plug in at the same time, I assume this could cause issues First, multiple readers are simply stuck in a loading loop and won't show a price or accept any card 1/3
151
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 19/09/2026
New contactless experience at GOFAST It fixes the problem of the price not being visible anymore after the Swisscharge migration You don't pick the connector anymore, just plug in and tap (and hope it activates the correct side) I already found plenty of problems 👇🏻

The MOVE/TBW charger at Bleicheplatz in Wil has received its green skin, like the other TBW chargers in town The parking spaces have also been painted, unfortunately at an angle 😕 The Fiat just barely reaches 0.69CHF/kWh ad-hoc + paid parking Monday-Saturday

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 17/09/2026
Fast chargers at Auto Welt von Rotz in Wil were out of service for over a month when I visited last Sunday Shop had no info It appears the left unit has just been put back in service There's a new skin and contactless readers. Now I need to go back and test if it works 0.49CHF/kWh Swisscharge 👍🏻

New Shell Recharge station in Frauenfeld! 4xCCS max 300kW New Shell prices 0.79CHF/kWh contactless 0.69 app 0.52 with subscription Hidden behind the shop, completely invisible when coming from the freeway 🤷🏻‍♂️

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 14/09/2026
First time I see this "limited by" symbol on Alpitronic 👀 Definitely not the first time I'm left stranded at 0kW by a SOCAR charger though 😕
120
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 13/09/2026
Why does nothing ever make sense? GOFAST managed to customize the A400 display to say 300kW instead of 400kW (I assume it's the grid limit) But they still printed the physical stickers with 400kW 🤦🏻‍♂️
052
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 10/09/2026
Is this GOFAST's announcement? Are they changing their name? 🤔 On the subject of rebranding, I want to remind everyone that despite Agrola's and the Post massive effort to launch their PowerUp brand, we are still yet to see anything new out of the partnership except stickers 😐

Happy World EV Day 🌈⚡

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 01/09/2026
The pavement doesn't lead anywhere so it's not that big of a deal, but still, it would have been cleverer to place the charger roadside and not risk any accident 😅 The previous charger was wall-mounted, but they replaced it recently. Bussigny train station

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 31/08/2026
It seems like after migration to Swisscharge, contactless price is not shown anywhere anymore at GOFAST stations. 50CHF hold, but how much for electricity? Is the price supposed to be at the bottom but pushed out of view by the long French text? This can't be legal...
020
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 30/08/2026
Contactless now available at AGROLA Bevaix! Filling the contactless gap between Neuchâtel and Yverdon. I wonder when MOVE will add readers in Boudry

Charging under the full moon A bit eerie in Malvilliers at night, but luckily I didn't see any werewolf 😄

In Morges, Electra is building right next to Eni! They seem to be going for 6 stalls It's been a while since we've had new competing stations touching each other

Of course! This was a follow up to a discussion on X where we were wondering whether all Tesla roaming partners were app only or not There aren't many eMSP offering Tesla access at the moment. In Switzerland I believe AVIA Volt is the only major one
000
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 27/08/2026
Confirmed: you can activate Tesla Superchargers with a roaming RFID on V4 dispensers that have contactless readers Unfortunately those without the reader and all V2 and V3 are app only

1'000CHF Shell voucher. That's like, one charging session at current prices 🤪 Seems like you can only enter by buying fuels and cannot redeem it for electricity anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 13/08/2026
150'000km on the Fiat 500e! Drove about 13'000km since I got it last September Still doing very well. But I wish there could be a software update to get better insights into charging. And a charge % limit!

Disappointed at Einkaufszentrum Mösli in Ostermundigen 8 green spaces, but only 5 chargers. Not obvious which ones are equipped before parking 2 working chargers ICEd. Of course the broken charger is not ICEd No cellular connectivity to pay for charger or parking 0.35CHF/kWh
010
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 07/08/2026
Status report from Coop Pronto Bulle They updated the firmware... And one unit broke down Still no contactless, no TWINT and practically no roaming
041
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 06/08/2026
Anyone know *when* the charger was moved? Because all pictures online are so old, I can only say it's after October 2024
020
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 06/08/2026
What on Earth is happening at Coop Pronto Route de Tavel Fribourg? Migrated to Swisscharge, but MOVE branding was not modified except removal of QR codes I thought it was now Pronto Charge, but is it? At some point the charger was also moved to smaller parking spaces
151
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 06/08/2026
I know all the ad-hoc prices but unfortunately no way to know how many customers actually pay that way unless the CPOs are willing to share 🥲 From my direct talks it seems to be a small percent so they don't care much about those customers Contactless on fast chargers might have higher utilization
110
ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 05/08/2026
No more CHAdeMO or AC at Heidiland MOVE ABB chargers were replaced with Alpitronic They are the only chargers with contactless as IONITY doesn't offer it, 0.69CHF/kWh Mixed MOVE/Energie360° branding 50kW limit not super obvious Even more chargers are planned here. IONITY again?

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 04/08/2026
Despite being advertised the same 0.75, the truck charger appears to be currently 0.50 with contactless There are 2 connectors for one space, so you could dual-gun compatible vehicles That space seems even longer than the other truck charging spots I have seen so far!

ChargeGuide🇨🇭 @chargeguide.ch · 04/08/2026
SOCAR opens their largest charging hub on Herrlisberg Süd (A3 direction Chur) 13 charging spots: 4x400kW pull-through with cover 8x200kW 1x400kW truck/bus 0.75CHF/kWh Migrolino and Burger King
