smotion offers you two subscription types:
Non-member
CHF 0.-- / year
CHF 1.50 + CHF 0.50 / kWh
Member
CHF 59.00 / year
CHF 0.45 / kWh
The difference between these two subscription types is the rate you have to pay for charging your vehicle on the smotion network. For more information, please view the section, "How much does it cost?"
The Non-member subscription is for users who occasionally charge their vehicles on the smotion network. There is no annual fee, and you will be billed at a rate of CHF 1.50 + CHF 0.50 per kWh each time you charge your vehicle on the smotion network.
The Member subscription is advantageous if you charge at least 3 times a month on the smotion network. There is an annual fee of CHF 59.00, and you will be billed at a rate of CHF 0.45 per kWh each time you charge your vehicle on the smotion network.
The rates listed apply solely to smotion stations. Your subscription also gives you access to the stations of our partners, who are free to charge any rate they want. You can view the rate charged at each station via the station map, on the smotion website and in the mobile app.
Please note that parking costs are not included in the charging price.
Non-member
If you have chosen the "Non-member" subscription, you do not have to pay an annual fee.
Each time you charge your vehicle on the smotion network, you will be billed at a rate of CHF 1.50 + CHF 0.50 per kWh.
For example, for an 8kWh charging session, you will be billed 1.50 + (8 x 0.5) = 5.50.
Members
If you have chosen the "Member" subscription, your annual fee is CHF 59.00.
Each time you charge your vehicle on the smotion network, you will be billed at a rate of CHF 0.45 per kWh.
For example, for an 8kWh charging session, you will be billed 8 x 0.45 = 3.60.
To make charging your vehicle as convenient as possible, we provide you with two different ways of paying:
At the end of each charging session or instant reservation, the transaction amount will automatically be debited from your credit card.
Please note that, if your smotion account is in credit, it will be used to collect the transaction amount. If this credit is not sufficient, the remainder will be charged to your credit card.
You can top up your smotion account at any time using the following payment methods:
Please note that, if you pay by bank transfer, it may take several days to complete the transfer.
At the end of each charging session or instant reservation, the transaction amount will automatically be debited from your smotion account.
The charging station map shows you all the charging points that you can access.
You can display the stations that are compatible with your vehicle by using the filters just above the map.
Charging time depends on several factors, including the vehicle's battery capacity and charging station power.
(Battery capacity) / (Charging station power)
Take the Renault Zoe, for example:
Battery capacity | 22 kWh |
Charging station power | 11 kW |
Calculation | 22 / 11 = 2 hours |
It takes 2 hours to charge a Renault Zoe at an 11 kW charging station.
Charging electric vehicles in roaming mode means that user can charge their vehicles at a charging station outside of their home network (located in the same country or abroad).
Using your smotion account, (depending on the kind of subscription you choose) roaming enables you to access all the public charging stations in Switzerland and more than 33,000 charging stations throughout Europe. This number is constantly rising, along with the growth of public charging networks.
Access to roaming is reserved for subscription-paying members. To become a member, click here.
To start charging your vehicle, you just need to swipe your smotion card or badge over the charging station. You can also initiate charging using the smotion mobile app.
The SwissPass cards are compatible with smotion. Technically, they also work on networks with which we have a roaming agreement. However it can happen that the charging stations of networks outside smotion are not compatible with the SwissPass cards. In this case, SwissPass users can use the smotion application to use the charging station.
The cost of charging can vary a lot, depending on the country and the charging network.
smotion operates two pricing plans:
smotion roaming costs | |||
---|---|---|---|
Power up to | 22 kW | 50 kW | 150 kW |
On networks inside Switzerland | CHF 0.15/min | CHF 0.39/min | CHF 0.50/min |
On networks outside Switzerland | CHF 0.45/min | CHF 1.01/min | CHF 3.48/min |
These prices are subject to change without prior notice, depending on price changes on other charging networks. We advise you to always check the pricing terms and conditions on our website before charging your vehicle.
