Occupancy in the week 19.–25.10.2026
On average, a charging point was occupied 4,8 % of the time, 10,9 % across Switzerland. The busiest hour was 14:00 with 14,3 % occupancy. We counted at least 7 charging sessions, 0,3 per charging point and day. Every charging point was used at least once during the week. No charging point was out of service for several days in a row.
Charging at home
Charging at home for Schwarzenberg costs 23,48 Rp./kWh energy price at the local grid operator, with no basic charge (tariff 2026). For 100 km that is about CHF 4.54 plus VAT, calculated with 18 kWh consumption and 6,9 % charging loss at the wallbox. For 2027, 22,55 Rp./kWh has been reported. At public charging points the operator’s price applies, not the grid operator’s tariff. The “Charging” tab shows what operators report.

Where the figures come from
- Electric cars: FSO, road vehicle stock by municipality, as of 2025, and new registrations 2025. Counted by the keeper’s address, so company cars are included. We do not show figures under 5.
- Charging points: SFOE, charging stations for electric cars (ich-tanke-strom.ch), daily export of 26.10.2026. The municipality follows from the coordinate and swisstopo’s municipal boundaries (swissBOUNDARIES3D).
- Occupancy: our own measurement from the SFOE status reports, every 3 minutes, week 19.–25.10.2026. The figures are openly available at /ladenetz-gemeinden.json.
- Electricity tariff: ElCom, tariffs reported by the distribution system operators, standard product, profile H5 (7’500 kWh a year, house with an electric car), excluding VAT.
What the figures do not say
- Private chargers in garages and at houses are not recorded centrally anywhere and are missing here. Most electric cars charge there.
- No reported charging point does not mean there is none: an operator who does not report its charger to the SFOE is missing from the file.
- Charging sessions are a lower bound. We count the change from free to occupied between two readings; a session shorter than three minutes is missed.
- Occupancy counts how often a charging point was reported as occupied. A car that stays parked after charging counts as occupied.
