First Porsche Charging Lounge in Switzerland is now open - article

[Tooney]

The Porsche Charging Lounges are easy to find. They are shown in the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system and in the My Porsche app. The app recently took first place in the OEM ranking by Auto Bild. The magazine compared a total of 32 charging services and apps from independent providers and car manufacturers. Porsche was awarded a rating of ‘very good’ in all the test criteria of pricing model, charging app useability, and network coverage.

It doesn't say the exact location anywhere.

They say you can find it in the app, yet when you search for The Porsche Charging Lounge the closest one is in Germany - likely because they did not add it to google maps. They could have at least tried this before publishing the article.

?

More important as part of the announcment is that they added GOFAST, with quite a lot of fast charger locations (90+) in switzerland - most of them in McDonald parkings, as part of the sub, in addition to Ionity, at the same price of 0.39

And in Germany they added "Aral Pulse", another provider beside Ionity, at the same price of 0.39, with 3000 high speed chargers

Makes me feel slightly better about paying for the overpriced porsche charging sub ?

The Swiss are known as very secretive.

Aral Pulse has been on the price list for a while, but strangely has an expiry date as do a couple of others; i wonder why?

“Preferred partners: Porsche Sales & Marketplace (f.e. participating Porsche Dealerships), Porsche Charging Lounge, Porsche Factory, IONITY, Audi Charging Hubs, Aral pulse in Germany (until 31.11.2025), Iberdrola (until 21.12.2028) and Zunder (until 31.12.2026)”

Wait, WHAT??? The whole GoFast network becomes a preferred partner - will it be as cheap as Ionity???? That's indeed a greater news!
And they just acquire Move. Even more chargers for cheap for us.

From the article:

From now on , GOFAST will be added as a new Preferred Partner in Switzerland. The Swiss company GOFAST AG builds and operates the densest national fast-charging network for electric vehicles. Around 90 fast-charging stations are already in operation along major transport routes and at key transport hubs. Over the next few years, the network will be expanded to over 200 locations throughout Switzerland.

Hummm if it's like Aral Pulse, it's less interesting: there's an additional cost per minute, which makes it quite more expensive than Ionity.

honestly, It looks like a public restroom.

No cost per minute in the app

Hardly. Or are you a resident of the dubai elite?

I see a cost per minute at both GoFast and Aral, hopefully that will disappear in the future:

Yes, on Android. Last version from July the 5th. While the iOs app got updated last week. Probably it'll come soon to Android too.
