Electra have 436kWh of buffer batteries (2 units of 218)

Just another Sunday at the Rubigen highway exit You wouldn't even know Electra opened so much more recently. It's so busy already!

@electricfelix So strange to have so many connectors blocking each other. I suppose it's for multiple cars to use when no truck present, or just redundancy/compatibility? It must feel good to have the money to install more power modules than strictly necessary...

10 MW! Most powerful public truck charging site of Northern Europe! 📍Norsborg 🇸🇪 8 x MCS of 1MW 8 x CCS of 500 kW 10 x CCS of 400 kW A total of 26 plugs! #alwaysbecharging But Most Of All: € 0,41/kWh NON-DISCRIMINATORY ADHOC PRICING 💸💸💸 photos by Anders Gaasedal

@Bastien18250 I don't have any details, but I'll ask if I ever get a chance What I wonder is whether the entire row of car spaces is 3.5t limit, or somehow just the chargers I assume it's the whole row. The truck spaces are reinforced with concrete, but they didn't do it for the chargers

@chargeguide Do you happen to know why? I could see some e-trucks using them for pro or post overning stay at the rest stop

Seems like the MOVE chargers on rest stops La Tuffière and Les Muéses are finally back in service! They worked briefly in October last year, then no more There's an usual restriction at the second location, a 3.5t weight limit for the charging spots

There's now minimal Eni branding on the 150kW chargers in Aarau. No stickers on the 100kW chargers yet Contactless doesn't work yet, expected for this summer One of the 150kW CCS doesn't seem to work, it's not in the apps and the cable management is broken Still 0.70CHF/kWh

@hickHack15 It's not the most impressive charging curve, but not too bad either! Fiat 500e 87kW 2021

@chargeguide 50% SOC -> 50 kW charging speed

Electra at Burger King/Aligro in Sargans/Wangs Very scenic

This charger replaces an older station by Ost-mobil

Ahah I just need to talk about it! Now painted, but I still don't see any new lighting on their picture x.com/i/status/20364…

GOFAST is leaving us *in the dark* about their new ALDI location in Landquart It has been working for a few weeks but is not on their website yet Maybe they don't want to advertise it until the parking spaces are painted and some lights installed 😅 6xCCS max 300kW, 70ct/kWh

There's a "new" Pronto Charge location in Oberentfelden, but it's just the old Eniwa charger re-branded and made worse - No longer roams - No longer accepts TWINT or Google Pay - Still no contactless - Signage says <400kW... it's 80kW The price did go from 60 to 59ct/kWh 🤷🏻‍♂️

@electricfelix @go_Electra Can't wait for the day CPOs actually have to compete against each other instead of the pricing mess we have at the moment... It's so obviously not profitable *right now* that everybody is following their own incompatible strategy of cost optimization 😩

@chargeguide @go_Electra pfff what a nonsense situation ty! highly confusing

The largest @go_Electra station of Switzerland is open at Shoppi Tivoli in Spreitenbach! 12xCCS max 300kW 0.64CHF/kWh ad-hoc, 59 app, 39 abo Parking 2CHF/h during business hours, 30ct/h other times

@electricfelix @go_Electra I think Electra has pretty much always been cheaper than Fastned in Switzerland. As for difference between app and contactless it's about +9% at Electra, +11% Fastned and +5% IONITY. But confusing because the latest price change was to up CC at Electra but lower app at Fastned...

@chargeguide @go_Electra am I right to conclude Electra now charges less for "not using their app" than Fastned?

@kmartinho8 @gofast_swiss Shell is already too expensive before adding the roaming fees 😅 The Shell subscription is actually a pretty good deal for both AC and DC. Doesn't beat Electra on price, but that's a lot more locations!

@chargeguide @gofast_swiss Better than 0.86 for AC charging

Rush hour in Murten, but no car charging at @gofast_swiss both Aldi and McDonald's. Where is everybody? 🤔 The 67 and 69ct/kWh ad-hoc prices aren't very inviting, but the app price is the same as Agrola at 65ct/kWh People must be driving out of town to cheaper stations

@ZevaKikel The problem with a single (cheap) AC is that it will always be occupied, and often by people who aren't even in the store... We're not in France where this is a legal requirement. If there's interest in offering AC, I think there should be more plugs. 2 is the strict minimum

@chargeguide The AC charger is provided for PHEVs that cannot charge at DC, making it a clever setup.

Coop Löwenberg in Murten has an unusual setup 4xCCS + a single AC connector 55ct/kWh DC, contactless available All Energie360° AC chargers at Coop were raised from 29 to 39ct/kWh a few weeks ago

@jaames06 Are you paying for Electra+? It might be another case of an Electra subscription raising a price! Still shows 0.29 for me without subscription

@chargeguide It’s not 0.29, even with the Atlante app it’s still 0.55 and with the Electra app it’s 0.64 🥲

A new player has entered the game! Atlante have opened their first swiss station in Marly 4xCCS max 350kW 0.55CHF/kWh with Atlante or Fastned apps. Contactless not yet operational Want to pay even less? It's 0.29CHF/kWh with Electra app, no subscription required 🤷🏻‍♂️
