Cornaux: charging stations and electric cars
Electric cars
For Cornaux, the FSO counts 33 electric cars and 14 plug-in hybrids among 1’282 passenger cars (as of 2025). That is 2,6 % electric cars, against a Swiss average of 5,2 %. A year earlier there were 29. In 2025, 6 electric cars were newly registered, 9,1 % of all new passenger cars. 25,4 % of the passenger cars are registered to companies. Company fleets shift the share because they buy differently from private households.
Public charging points
For Cornaux, the SFOE lists 2 public charging points at 1 locations, 0 of them with direct current (as of 26.10.2026). There are 16,5 electric cars per charging point, 12,4 across Switzerland. The nearest fast charger with more than 42 kW is 1,6 km away in a straight line, in Laténa.
Occupancy in the week 19.–25.10.2026
With 2 charging points we do not show an occupancy rate: at so few points, a single parked car decides the whole week. We counted at least 2 charging sessions.
Charging at home
Charging at home for Cornaux costs 25,55 Rp./kWh energy price at the local grid operator plus a basic charge of CHF 36 a year (tariff 2026). For 100 km that is about CHF 4.94 plus VAT, calculated with 18 kWh consumption and 6,9 % charging loss at the wallbox. For 2027, 24,63 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.
