Anything can happen in the new Agrola app!. Charge started at 15h24, estimated completion by 15h23, 1 minute before!. "We will reserve 10CHF", proceeds to reserve 20CHF 🤷🏻‍♂️. The staff at the gas station has no idea Agrola just completely changed their e-mobility payment system

Yverdon Energie is still cheaper with their offerings including DC, still at 45ct/kWh average, though it's now a combined kWh+hour price on eCarUp.

The 22kW DC charger in front of EXPLORiT in Yverdon got cheaper with the migration from Evpass to eCarUp. Previously 5CHF start fee (!!) + 55ct/kWh.Now just 50ct/kWh. I haven't gone back since last month, at the time the charger was out of service but seems to have been fixed

Fast charging prices update.- Eni "lowered" their prices and now invoice in CHF. Shell drops to last place.- AVIA Volt started activating some contactless readers.- Agrola changes payment system, but price remains the same.- Fast announced new abo prices, but not in Switzerland

Both 50kW chargers in Widen have been migrated from Evpass to Partino. 43ct/kWh, pretty cheap, but would you believe it's actually a price increase from 40ct!. Now every plug has a QR code instead of only the AC previously

This is what you hear when you phone the number indicated. Time to learn Schwiizerdütsch 😅

I'm forgetting the most important picture, the instructions for the migration. Which don't work 😐

If all locations had contactless it would be less of an issue, but some like Küssnacht only offer QR code. Idon't have the e-mob RFID, perhaps that's the only working contract payment method right now.

Nothing works except contactless at Agrola tonight. Today they migrated to the Monta payment backend. Swisscharge access is deactivated, Agrola app shows all out of service and new QR codes fail to load. SC hotline has no idea, Agrola hotline not answer outside business hours 🤦🏻‍♂️

Back at AGROLA in Wangen bei Olten, no shenanigans with crossed cables this time. It's an amazing pull-through setup. As long as no Landi customer uses the white parking spaces 😐 Why not make one officially pull-through, it was the perfect setup

Welcome Porsche to the @opendataswiss IchTankeStrom platform! Thanks to this integration you can now see their live data on the ChargeGuide map, including the brand-exclusive charging lounge. If data is good enough, I will be able to add Porsche to the September market overview

Is this normal, doctor? Episode 2. I then moved to a different charger and had no issue. I hope the CPO gets an automated alert when a charging session looks like this. I didn't even notice for a while, as it started fine and the IONIQ doesn't show the power in-car

When most of the cable length is needed, just to reach the parking space. 🤔. SOCAR Eggberg, currently the only open rest stop northbound on A2 between Egerkingen and Basel. The other 2 are closed for roadwork. 1 unit up to 300kW, the other up to 150kW.75ct/kWh contactless

On the first charge it asks if you want to add the car to your account. This seems to be the same system as Fastned's and Electra's AutoCharge, except I didn't know you could use powerline communication during AC charging with old cars. That must be how they get a car ID

eCarUp supports AutoCharge on their AC pico chargers. It's not enabled everywhere, for now I've only seen it in Giebenach. I wonder what protocol they use for this. The charger supports Plug&Charge, but my almost 10 year old car shouldn't 🤔

MOVE Mühlematt Ost and both GOFAST Sonnenberg stations show available in the apps. But all 3 of those rest stops are currently closed for roadwork!. This is simply not good enough. The live data needs to reflect temporary closures as soon as they are known 😡

The other street chargers in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Gare, Marché) at least don't require additional parking payment, and have a 2h limit instead of 1.5. There are only 2 out of 9 Vmotion stations that allow unlimited charging during a workday (VADEC, free parking / La Ronde, paid)

New AC chargers "on the Pod" in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Electricity 55ct/kWh+90ct/h.Parking workday 8h-12h/13h30-19h 30min free then 1CHF/h, max 90min.Can't park between 03h and 07h November 1st to April 15 (snow removal). Not convenient at all if you rely on public charging.
