En bref
An electric car often costs more to buy but less to run in Switzerland: electricity at CHF 0.277/kWh (ElCom 2026 median) versus roughly CHF 1.90/l for petrol. Across 164 documented models, the real gap depends on your canton, mileage and charging habits — calculate yours with the simulator alongside.
Choose your starting point
Five journeys. One simpler decision.
You do not need to read everything: start with the question you want to solve today.
01 — Why it's complicated
Going electric raises a lot of questions.
The real cost is unclear
Between the purchase price, insurance, maintenance and charging, it's hard to know what it really costs.
Finding a charger is a hassle
Which chargers are reliable? How much do they really cost? No clear answer on the Swiss-French web.
Local aid changes
Programmes may depend on the canton, municipality and precise conditions. Eligibility must be confirmed before purchase.
Which one to choose?
Tesla, BMW, Peugeot, BYD — the offer is exploding. Without real data, comparing is impossible.
Car insurance is different
Replacement value, battery breakdown assistance, cable cover — insuring an EV isn't the same as a petrol car.
Range in the mountains
In Switzerland, elevation changes everything. What is the stated range really worth on our roads?
The real questions
Wondering if an EV is right for you?
I mostly drive in town and sometimes on the motorway — is it doable?
It depends on the model, route, weather and charging options. Compare the WLTP range and keep a margin for winter and motorway driving.
What if my battery runs out?
The MonVE map lists locations from Open Charge Map. Always verify status, access and pricing in the operator's app before travelling.
Is it really cheaper than petrol?
Not automatically. The result mainly depends on purchase price, mileage, charging and insurance. The simulator shows its assumptions instead of promising an average saving.

03 — Who I am
Made by someone who's been through it.
A Tesla owner since 2022 in Valais. I looked for the real answers — cantonal subsidies, real cost, suitable insurance — without finding them easily. This site is what I wish I'd had.
