The GOFAST totem had to be removed to create an alternate entrance

It's stored securely next to the inverters and buffer batteries 😂

Due to ongoing roadwork, it's a mystery each time from which side you can access the VEBO parking and GOFAST station in Oensingen

Seems like it's always better to exit at Oensingen Nord rather than follow the detour

It's unnecessarily tight...

Must also take into account that a long electric car will stick out of the first spot, making it even harder to access the second spot

There's a risk of damage by driving on top of their parking space border, or into the ditch...

What happened? 😬

I have never dug much into the NewMotion history. But I saw that customers still on that platform had to migrate to 50five now

There's just barely enough space to make the proper maneuver into the first spot with the Fiat. Can't imagine with other vehicles. And that's with the spaces around free

The Shell Bureau of EV Enshittification presents their latest innovation

Combining the tried and tested methods of preventing reverse at the end of the row, useless bollards, unreliable GMDC hardware and now with hard space dividers and basically no way to access

Solothurn is a weird case because they didn't wait for the old partner to leave before adding their chargers. So there was more than one CPO in the same parking

But I think they might be in the process of dismantling that one now

Did you know SBB is also a CPO?

My stats show such low usage, I don't think many know about the eCharge offering. I've never seen any ad

10 P+R parkings are equipped, including Solothurn

All 0.50CHF/kWh

If you use your Swisspass, electricity and parking are billed together 👌🏻

How hard can it be to configure connector labels on a credit card reader? Very, apparently

They changed between my visits, but always the same for both buttons, or when Links/Rechts shows up, it ends up truncated 🤦🏻‍♂️

After Shell, there is a second location where you can pay via contactless in Thun, at Volvo

Better than Shell, but still 0.65CHF/kWh

Not a great coverage, considering there are a dozen of 50kW+ chargers around town

Pray that the charger isn't blocked by dealership cars

New fast charger in Läufelfingen

2xCCS max 100kW
0.59CHF/kWh, contactless ONLY

They tell me the parking spaces will be painted soon

Not particularly attractive to travellers, On the minor road between Olten- Sissach. You can reach it from the A2 exit Eptingen then steep pass

Good news for Hünenberg residents, eCarUp time of day pricing now in effect. Overstay fees only 6h-24h

8 months after the switch from Evpass, the signs posted above the stations with these tariffs are now correct again

No other public CPO using this eCarUp feature at the moment

But the sign doesn't say Shell, because they kept the Evpass branding in many locations after buying them 😅 You only see a Shell logo after scanning the QR code for payment 🤪

All new and upgraded locations are branded as Shell Recharge though

Just an average day in Switzerland 💀

But to be fair, Shell ad-hoc prices are crazy even for Switzerland. Download the app and you get the 0.59CHF/kWh that aligns with the national average

Ouch, expensive mistake. Doubly so if they crashed a brand new BMW into it 😱

Häusermann in Aarau is one of few dealerships to have more than one DC charger, and all open to the public at a "reasonable" 0.60CHF/kWh price

But all 3 CCS have been out of service for a month now 😩

Alpitronic chargers are great when working, but I am getting more annoyed by the day 😡

When there's a problem, there's no way to know what is wrong. I'm not calling the helpline, they never know either

Stuck at 0kW for 5 minutes before switching charger, car shows no sign of problem

But the screensaver is illegal!

It advertises the wrong price 🤦🏻‍♂️

eCarUp have finally implemented overstay charges in their platform!

Currently only a handful of AC chargers use this feature, in particular Elektro-Genossenschaft Hünenberg

BUT... They don't seem to support time of day constraints, so it's now very inconvenient to charge at night 😐

Is this charger supposed to be public? Good luck finding it behind the dumpsters 😅

It's a very special piece of technology. A 43kW AC charger that isn't combined with a DC charger 👀

EVTEC now offer a power graph on their latest hardware/software revision

I wish we could see the amperes!

There's also a power limit indicator in some versions, but I have yet to see the limit AND graph on the same unit 🤔

Huge parking spaces at Agrola Courtepin!

I wonder what they were thinking when drawing the truck-sized space on the right... That's not where you need the plug when pulling in a semi-trailer 🤔

Migros Panorama Center Thun was upgraded from 8 to 12 connectors

It was really needed, for Saturdays and anytime a match takes place in the Stockhorn Area

Opening hours unclear, every website says something different. Since they went barrier-free nothing is posted anymore

Like in Konolfingen, this is powered by the i-light. Here there seems to be more power, 900kW (18x50kW) shared between the 2x600A dispensers

However I did not see any new buffer battery. There's no way the little battery for the car charger suffice

Agrola are opening their second "600kW" station in Lyssach

First time Diesel and EV truck charging is combined like this in 🇨🇭

250CHF reservation = 380kWh at 65ct/kWh

Doesn't seem to work just yet. One charger officially out of service, other cancelled session after pre-charge

Happy Easter from the Glooten rest stops near Iseltwald!

Unfortunately you barely see the lake from ground level, but there's an amazing view of the mountains!

4xCCS + 1xCHAdeMO in both directions

0.69CHF/kWh with contactless (MOVE)

I wish there was an obvious way to stop the charge from within any car. Most cars have that feature, but if you have to retrieve the owners manual or search YouTube I think it's a big fail from the manufacturer as well 😐

No kidding, today I had to help someone who could not find how to stop their charge

Would you find the correct button? (Media compression will make this even worse)

- Starten
- Beenden
- Beleg
- Abbrechen
