This article is part 2 of a three-part series on "Summer, Sun, Electricity – E-Mobility in Vacation Time". Stay tuned – it's worth it!

Improve Visibility

The first step is particularly important: increasing your visibility. Those not appearing in charging apps and roaming networks are overlooked – despite the best infrastructure. This is often where the first potential for improvement lies. Check where your charging location is currently displayed and increase your reach:

Own Website – Especially relevant for hotels, parking garages, shopping centers
Google Maps and Apple Maps – If your station is integrated with Swisscharge, it will automatically appear within the maps of both providers
Swisscharge Map – Integration with Swisscharge makes you particularly attractive to the largest e-driver community in Switzerland

Ensure that the location of your charging stations is correctly marked and include notes if a physical charging card is needed. This makes your charging location more appealing to e-drivers and leads to recommendations.

🌟 Do You Already Have «Regulars»?

Many e-drivers have favorite locations where they stop repeatedly.

The first impression counts – and pays off over the years.

E-drivers stick together. If it works, they talk about it.

From Wait Time to Great Time

The location is technically equipped, but the number of charges remains below your original expectation? In that case, your location could benefit from better marketing. Gas stations have been doing that for years – and now generate a large part of their revenue through on-site shop sales. This doesn't mean you have to set up an entire store, but simply make smarter use of existing advantages.

How to Highlight Your Location's Advantages:

Your charging stations should be clearly visible – Good signage is crucial for somewhat hidden locations, such as in underground garages
Place signs for nearby cafes, playgrounds, and restrooms – Charging breaks can be used more comfortably this way
Cleanliness – Well-maintained charging locations are often saved for future visits
Take a short walk and get some fresh air – Provide a shelter for rainy weather if possible
