Answers to the most common questions from UK electric vehicle drivers — covering charging, payments, motorways and travelling to Switzerland.
Yes. easyCharging shows charging points at major Swiss motorway service areas (Raststätten), including fast and ultra-fast chargers along motorways such as the A1, A2 and A3.
Switzerland offers slow, fast and ultra-fast chargers. Many motorway and hub locations provide DC charging up to 350 kW. Actual speed depends on your vehicle and battery state.
No. easyCharging has no subscription fees. You only pay for the charging sessions you actually use — in Switzerland and across Europe.
Payments are billed instantly after each charging session. There are no monthly invoices — you receive a receipt for every charge directly in the app.
Yes. easyCharging supports all major EV brands and European connector types commonly used by UK vehicles, including CCS and Type 2.
Yes. The easyCharging RFID key tag works at compatible charging stations across Switzerland and is especially useful in Alpine tunnels or when mobile signal is weak.
Yes. easyCharging shows live charger status, pricing, connector types and power output so you can plan ahead before arriving.
Some Swiss chargers accept contactless cards, but availability varies. Using an app like easyCharging ensures consistent access and clear pricing across operators.
Switzerland has dense charging coverage, including on motorways and in mountain resorts. easyCharging helps you check availability before stopping, which is especially useful on Alpine routes and at high-demand passes.
Yes. A motorway vignette is required to use Swiss motorways, and it applies to electric vehicles too. It is sold as an annual sticker (around CHF 40) or as an e-vignette linked to your number plate.
Switzerland does not currently operate city low-emission zones or environmental windscreen stickers like some EU countries. The main requirement for motorway driving is the vignette.
Many UK policies include cover for Switzerland, but you should confirm this before travelling — Switzerland is outside the EU, so check whether a green card or extra documentation is needed, and that breakdown assistance covers EVs.
You will need a valid passport, UK driving licence, V5C logbook (or hire agreement), insurance documents and a UK identifier displayed on your vehicle. Switzerland is in the Schengen area for travel but outside the EU customs union.
No. Use of the Gotthard road tunnel and the motorway network is covered by the annual vignette — there is no separate per-trip toll for cars on the standard motorway routes.
No. UK EVs use the same CCS and Type 2 connectors as Switzerland. Most motorway and city chargers provide tethered cables for DC fast charging.
Some breakdown policies have specific EV conditions. It’s recommended to confirm battery-related coverage and Alpine recovery before travelling.
