Lema: charging stations and electric cars
Electric cars
For Lema, the FSO counts 51 electric cars and 42 plug-in hybrids among 1’655 passenger cars (as of 2025). That is 3,1 % electric cars, against a Swiss average of 5,2 %. A year earlier there were 42. In 2025, 8 electric cars were newly registered, 11,6 % of all new passenger cars.
Public charging points
For Lema, the SFOE lists 4 public charging points at 3 locations, 0 of them with direct current (as of 26.10.2026). There are 12,8 electric cars per charging point, 12,4 across Switzerland. The nearest fast charger with more than 42 kW is 3,5 km away in a straight line, in Tresa.
Occupancy in the week 19.–25.10.2026
On average, a charging point was occupied 6,2 % of the time, 10,9 % across Switzerland. The busiest hour was 12:00 with 14,3 % occupancy. We counted at least 10 charging sessions, 0,4 per charging point and day. Every charging point was used at least once during the week. One charging point was out of service for at least 3 days in a row.
Charging at home
We have no ElCom tariff for Lema. 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.
