The coverage of publicly accessible charging stations is 98% in Switzerland (15,000 charging points), and over 600,000 in Europe.

Basically, you don't need a charging card if you already have the chargeOn app. However, we offer authentication via RFID charging card (e.g. if you often charge at charging stations that are in a parking garage with poor reception). If required, you are welcome to order them once free of charge via the app. As soon as you have received the card, you can save and load it in the chargeOn app.

Roaming is not only available with mobile phone providers, but also when charging. Our roaming prices refer to charging stations provided by other operators outside our partner network.

The chargeON app is free: this means you don't need a subscription. Instead, you can download the app for free, store your credit card and purchase energy at the market prices quoted – or at preferential rates from our partners (including Migros, Fastned, Electra and AMAG). For example, you can charge your vehicle at Migrol for as little as CHF 0.39/kWh for slow chargers or CHF 0.49/kWh for fast chargers.

What are the charging costs? The cost of the charges consists of three components, some of which are specified by the charging station operators. Depending on the station, these components can be combined in different ways. Starting fee: We charge a one-time fee to start a charging process. Consumption-based billing: The operator charges a price for the purchase of one kilowatt hour (kWh). Time-based billing: The operator makes time-based billing (per minute). There are no further costs until the connection to the charging station is disconnected.

Depending on the charging station provider, fair use fees may apply. We have no influence over the prices of external charging stations. You can find information on whether and from when fair use fees apply at a charging station in the app at the respective charging point under ‘Additional costs’. Fair use costs are also communicated via app push notifications.
