Spooky mode was still active when I visited @go_Electra yesterday They replaced the "welcome" sound, but apparently not the "goodbye" sound

Cool, new digital sign at Migrol Interlaken!

Plenitude: oops, we just leaked all your data Also Plenitude: we're going to collect even more data and share it with even more parties! What could possibly go wrong? 🤦🏻‍♂️

In Würenlos, JOYA got rid of all the blue The chargers are now purple And the parking spaces have been re-painted in generic yellow as well The ad-hoc prices was increased to 0.74CHF/kWh, just so they can claim a 5ct rebate in the app 🫤

So... EasyPark is also a charging app now It's a whole new level of price madness There's a "service fee", which is 15% of total, max 2CHF. Bring out your calculators! 🤓 The base must already contain a roaming fee because it's often higher than native prices 🤷🏻‍♂️

First @alpitronic units with front screen in Switzerland, at AMAG in Volketswil (pictured) and Zug! Up to 400kW, but no idea for how long. In Zug they say 900kWh buffer batteries, here there's less Download the AMAG app to charge at 0.28CHF/kWh 😉

What are are paying for? Recently I've experienced and heard of many locations that don't deliver the advertised power, yet still charge crazy prices JOYA Biel, hardware capable of 150kW, labelled 100kW, only delivering ~70kW, less than 40kW per car That's NOT fast charging 😡

The GOFAST/JOYA station at Zürich Airport (their 4th busiest!) is closed for an undisclosed length of time A temporary replacement station is available at a less convenient location behind P6 in the freight delivery area 4xCCS max 200kW Contactless available, still 0.74CHF/kWh

Very unusual setup. You don't activate the EVSE with the app, instead you activate the industrial plug and make sure the EVSE is properly plugged in, or bring your own No RFID support as the smart meter is not reachable

New charger in Canton Jura, 4xCCS max 50kW at Migros Moutier It's the first DC charger in Moutier. And it's cheaper than all the AC at 0.48CHF/kWh vs 0.59CHF/kWh Only during shop opening hours. Parking max 1h We're just missing a Migrol station in the Porrentruy district now

I am not impressed by TCS's new price comparator 😐 Ad-hoc prices are hidden amongst the contracts or not available at all 😐 No way to sort prices 😐 TCS eCharge placed at the top despite often having very high roaming fees 😬 Plenty of prices are simply wrong!

SBB have put up an "advert" for their solar tariff in Delémont Like before, it's valid when using the Swisspass to activate 0.30CHF/kWh instead of regular 0.50CHF/kWh, + parking Solar hours reduced for the winter starting October, 9h-17h

In Bussigny, @go_Electra basically took over the whole front of the hotel 😮 There's no separate exit, so be careful of opposite direction traffic

There's simply no way to pay ad-hoc if the QR code is this faded... Strange phenomenon where the QR on the public side is more faded, whereas the car share side is still readable. You wouldn't think they wear on each usage 😂 The car being always there probably provided shade

When I visited the JOYA Matran flagship location on October 1st I thought they had arranged for trucks to be present for a photoshoot Turns out nothing was planned, that's just a normal morning here 😀 There's no lack of space to park, but it gets tricky to turn around

More 💥DESTRUCTION💥 At the Bavois rest stop, someone managed to break the bollards, the charger and the CONCRETE SLAB 😱 The cables themselves are also in pretty bad shape but this pre-dates this latest accident

If only there were bollards to protect the chargers... Oh wait there were 😅 Problem is, the back bollard is not aligned properly with the parking spaces on the other side! IONITY Interlaken

New fast charger by SOCAR in Nidau 2xCCS max 200kW 0.65CHF/kWh That's the 5th 100kW+ location around Biel, pretty good. But a shame there's only one with more than 2 connectors (Shell). All others are <200kW to share between 2 cars
