Key points at a glance

Here are the main questions and answers about sharing e-cars that don’t have their own charging points.
Launch of sharing e-cars that don’t have their own charging points
April finds Mobility launching a project for sharing e-cars that don’t have their own charging points. In a nutshell: From April, the Mobility fleet will include e-vehicles stationed at locations that have no charging points. Instead, users charge the vehicles during their reservations. The launch will take place at selected Mobility locations in predominantly urban areas.
Switzerland now has almost twice as many charging stations as petrol stations
There are several reasons why Mobility’s offering e-vehicles without charging points:
- Switzerland’s ready: the number of public charging stations is growing and, at over 6,500, there are already twice as many as there are petrol stations. Charging en route will soon be common practice.
- Mobility users are ready:manuals are available for every e-car (on the website or in the app), and charging’s included in the price. Every vehicle has a charging card.
- The cars are ready: e-vehicle battery technology’s constantly improving. Thanks to the expansion of the charging infrastructure, concepts like this are becoming increasingly viable.
- Mobility has its sights on the future:the launch of e-vehicles without their own charging point finds Mobility shaping the e-mobility of the future. The concept of sharing e-cars that don’t have their own charging points integrates seamlessly into modern mobility concepts aimed at flexibility and sustainability. This type of e-car sharing is an important step towards making electromobility in Switzerland more flexible and accessible. As a sustainable company, we’re steadily electrifying our entire vehicle fleet. It helps if you don’t have to install a charging point for every vehicle. That’s becauseit typically takes at least six months to install an e-vehicle location.
Where are these e-vehicles without charging points located?
A small number of customers have one of these e-vehicles without charging points in their vicinity. The following 13 stations have been selected for the trial:
- ZĂĽrich Oerlikon Salvatorstrasse
- Zürich Glattpark Schärenmoosstrasse
- ZĂĽrich Heinrichstrasse / SchĂĽtze Areal
- ZĂĽrich Lehenstrasse
- Basel Kannenfeldpark
- Allschwil SteinbĂĽhlallee
- Binningen Tiefengrabenstrasse
- Köniz Bahnhof
- Bern Kirchbergerstrasse
- BĂĽlach Bahnhof
- BĂĽlach Allmendstrasse
- Weinfelden Bahnhof
- Zofingen Kath. Kirchgemeinde
The vehicles are available as usual to all Mobility customers. They’re labelled “E-vehicle location with no charging point”.
Charge to earn Mobility credit
Anyone reserving a car without its own charging point and charging it while in their possession will have drive credit paid into their Mobility account. The amount depends on the kWh charged. 1 franc for every 10% increase in the charge level, plus a one-off charge bonus of 1 franc.
The vehicles without charging points are part of the regular Mobility fleet. Don’t worry: Mobility will keep an eye on the e-cars in question. Those with critically low charges will be recharged before being made available.
Mobility’s looking for Charging Angels
To ensure that these cars are kept available for use, we’re looking for people who can take them to charge points to top them up. These Charging Angels are rewarded with a higher level of Mobility drive credit.
