The Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) has launched a call for projects for the construction of fast charging stations along Switzerland’s national roads.
Switzerland already boasts a dense network of fast charging stations along national roads, both at rest areas and lay-bys.
A comprehensive and generally accessible charging infrastructure is crucial for the transition to electromobility. Therefore, FEDRO promotes this by allocating additional space along national roads for the construction of such stations.
FEDRO has now issued a call for projects to award five lots. Each of these lots comprises eleven plots distributed throughout Switzerland. The lots are allocated to the most suitable applicants in the form of reservations.
After signing any reservation agreement for the corresponding lot, a three-year period is granted to plan the fast charging stations and apply for a building permit.
Applicants are responsible for the planning, financing, construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of the fast charging stations themselves.
Interested companies are requested to submit their application documents by May 12, 2024.
