The public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Switzerland is being steadily expanded. In order to document this development, the Swiss Federal Office of Energy regularly evaluates the real-time data from and derives key figures on the public charging infrastructure in Switzerland. These key figures are now freely available as open data and can be viewed as a data visualization at

After the energy price shock resulted in a subdued start to the year, the EV and EV charging markets sparked back into life in late 2022. Almost all countries featured in the fourth edition of Roland Berger''s EV Charging Index hit record-high scores, with several leaping up the rankings. Also covered in the edition: customer behavior is changing and OEM''s strategy for EV charging infrastructure is showing regional differences.

At the moment, nearly 90% of charging happens at home or at work, with home charging being by far the most common. Public charging columns are primarily used by people who don''t have their own charging solution − how dense is the network in Switzerland today? A snapshot.
This much is for sure: The fear of running out of range in an electric car is becoming less and less justified. Vehicle range is increasing and the Swiss public network offers more than 6''300 charging points (as of October 2021). Electric drivers will still need to learn a few new habits though. For example, checking whether a particular public charging column is free, or quickly planning a longer journey using appropriate tools.

As well as the apps from big providers like eCharge or Gofast, there is also which offers a helpful interactive map, operated jointly by EnergieSchweiz, BFE and Swisstopo.
Clicking on a location provides precise information about the charging station. Icons indicate whether at least one space is free (green), all spaces are occupied (red), spaces are reserved (orange), the status is unknown (white) or the station is out of service (dark grey). It''s also easy to connect stations and calculate distances. Today, 24 operators of electric charging stations are included, offering around 3''100 stations with a total of more than 6''300 charging points. There is no information on prices. For this, you are referred to the individual provider. However, you can see which payment methods are accepted (credit card, app, QR code).
For electric cars to be usable on long journeys as well as shorter ones, there has to be enough fast charging infrastructure along the 1''850 kilometres of national motorway network. This goal was included in the "Electromobility Roadmap", signed at the end of 2018 by invitation from the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC). As of today, there are 59 service stations and 100 rest stops in operation along the motorways which can be used for charging.
The first of 100 fast charging stations was opened in June 2020 at the rest stop Inseli bei Sempach. Based on current plans, by the end of 2021, around half of rest stops should be equipped with fast charging. The stations have all of the common plug types, allowing charging at up to 150kW, whereby multiple vehicles can charge at full power simultaneously.
