    Any questions?

    In half an hour at a rapid charging point, in a couple of hours at a wall box, or even overnight from a socket at home. The range of options available for charging electric cars is expanding all the time. A growing number of businesses, public car parks, motorway service stations and landlords are now providing charging points. You can easily find out where your nearest public charging point is by visiting undefined.

    If you choose the ‘Premium – with electricity’ option with Clyde, electricity is already included thanks to the Clyde Energy Benefit – for both public and private charging.

    Charging at home

    If you charge your electric car at home using a wallbox or a standard socket, you will pay the electricity price charged by your energy supplier. In Switzerland, the averages is around CHF 0.29 per kWh.

    Example:
    An electric car with a battery capacity of 62 kWh (e.g. the CUPRA Born) needs around 62 kWh for a full charge.
    At an electricity price of CHF 0.29/kWh, this will cost approximately CHF 18
    For a range of around 400 km, this equates to a charging cost of CHF 4.5 per 100 km.

    But with the Clyde Energy Benefit, you can offset these costs: for each kilowatt hour that you charge at home, you will receive CHF 0.30/kWh credited to you in the form of vouchers.

    Charging on the move at public charging stations

    The cost of charging at public charging stations varies depending on the provider and location. Without Premium: You can expect electricity prices of between CHF 0.30 and CHF 0.80 per kWh.

    Example:
    At a price of CHF 0.50/kWh, a full charge of 62 kWh will cost around CHF 30.
    For a range of 100 km, this means you pay approximately CHF 7.75.

    With Premium, these costs are already included in your monthly rate, no matter whether you charge your car in Switzerland or Europe.

    With Clyde, electricity is included if you choose the ‘Premium – with electricity’ option, i.e. our Clyde Energy Benefit, when configuring your electric car. Of course, you can also take advantage of the Clyde Energy Benefit without a home charging solution. If you charge your electric car at one of the countless public charging stations in our partner charging network in Switzerland or throughout Europe, electricity is included in your monthly payment. The bill is sent automatically to Clyde.

    Our Clyde Energy Benefit provides the following promise: Electricity is included at all public charging stations within our partner charging network. If you charge your vehicle privately or drive economically, your charging costs will be credited to you in the form of vouchers.For public charging, the Clyde Energy Benefit is designed to cover your average electricity requirements based on your car and mileage package. Say you have a holiday coming up in the next month and you’ll be on the road a little more than usual: that’s not a problem at all. If, however, we have reason to believe that you’re ignoring our General Terms and Conditions by consuming an unusual amount of electricity, we reserve the right to pass on the costs incurred for wrongful usage to you and to charge a service fee on top.

    Public charging via your Clyde x Swisscharge charging card or via your account in the Swisscharge app is already included in your subscription – provided you chose the ‘Premium – with electricity’ option when configuring your electric car. In this case, we will handle the bill. Do note, however, that you are required to use your Swisscharge login credentials. You cannot use a different or private account for this. If you do so, we cannot transfer these charging costs to your regular account or reimburse you for them. If you wish to charge your car at a public charging point that is not part of the Swisscharge network, be aware that this is not covered by your monthly payment, so you will have to pay for it separately.

    For all Tesla drivers: if you charge your Tesla at a public Swisscharge charging station, we will of course also cover the costs if you have chosen the ‘Premium – with electricity’ option. Obviously, you can also charge your Tesla via the Tesla app at all Tesla Superchargers. Please note, however, that you will need to pay these costs separately. As soon as you register with your favourite provider via the app, your charging will simply be billed via your credit card.

    With the ‘Basic: without electricity’ option, your charging costs are not included in your monthly payment and will be billed separately via your charge:ON charging card. You will receive an email from charge:ON which you can use to register. The charging card will then be sent to your home by post.

    Our savings tip: Use the charging card from charge:ON or the AMAG app to benefit from a special price. Charging is available at undefined for just CHF 0.28/kWh.

    A full charge, for free.
