Both run on electric, with hybrids also featuring an additional combustion engine. This allows you to cover long distances without relying on charging infrastructure.

Plug-in hybrids are charged at a socket like electric cars, in contrast to full hybrids that only charge while driving. Plug-in hybrids use their electric motor as the main engine for shorter distances, while full hybrids only use it as back-up for their combustion engine – in stop-and-go traffic, for instance.

Plug-in hybrids use their electric motor for the first stretch of a journey, with a combustion engine taking over afterwards. And with electric cars, the range depends on the battery power – this can deliver up to 400 km before needing to be charged. We always include the specific range in the car info, to give you peace of mind. And ultimately, it comes down to you – the more you enjoy an unhurried drive, the further you’ll get.

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. And there are more and more options for charging plug-in hybrids and electric cars – a growing number of businesses, public car parks, motorway service stations and landlords are now providing charging stations. You can easily find out where your nearest public charging point is by visiting swisscharge.ch.

For all Tesla drivers: if you charge your Tesla at a swisscharge.ch charging station, we will of course pick up the costs. Obviously, you can also charge it via the Tesla app at all Tesla Supercharger stations.
