Happy new year everyone!
Has your 2026 been free of unit errors so far? Let me change that 😂 You'd think electricians would know better...

I messed up 😬 In every graph from this weekend, the estimated session count was too high, off by a factor of ~2. The occupation rate was correct. Below is a better graph with the actual best day of 2024, Dec 28. Dec 27 still the absolute winner of 2025

Final numbers for this Saturday
Added one of this Summer's busiest days for comparison. Clearly end of year is always the peak
Notice the Tesla midnight bump, it's the super low price incentive that didn't exist in 2024
And look, the grid didn't collapse 🤪 (obviously)

Pressure easing a little, but top locations are still experiencing queues
Tesla hit a record 77% total utilization. Even with the new 12-stall Crissier site, they still hit 100% utilization for a minute in Lausanne
The flagship GOFAST sites seem fine. It's well spread out (or could be ICEd 😅)

We are nearing the peak...
Multiple Tesla Superchargers are at capacity, including Crissier, Kriens, Martigny
IONITY Grauholz, Heidiland and Lully at capacity
A surprise not on the graph, GOFAST Ilanz is packed non-stop since 10h40

End of December always sees the highest utilization of the network
I believe this Saturday will be the busiest ever, but how busy? There's a lot of extra capacity, but still a few bottlenecks in prime locations
Place your bets, we'll check back in a few hours!

Electra increased their contactless price but you can still pay the old price with QR or app
Tesla increased their peak price while lowering the night/morning prices even more
AMAG special price ends soon
Safe travels everyone!

22 new fast charging sites opened so far in December! 94 new connectors
Top (sites/plugs):
5/30 GOFAST
4/16 Electra
4/8 Eni
The new Tesla Crissier supercharger is hidden behind the Electra marker. They opened last but will probably still see the most sessions in December

Typical Shell Recharge + EATON GMDC66 experience: one unit dead, one unit with broken screen
When it works you have almost no chance to reach the advertised 66kW max because it can only do 500V/165A
And you pay 89ct/kWh ad-hoc for this incredible service!

Fast charger stuck occupied for more than a day... Surely it's a system glitch?
Nope, it's a Post employee leaving their van on the 360kW charger for the weekend 🤬
They were here for 30 hours total according to the live data

GOFAST have lost their only location in Zürich city
SOCAR are now operating their own charger at Hohlstrasse
2xCCS max 150kW
It's actually a price decrease for contactless customers, from 70ct/kWh down to 65ct/kWh
Regular RFID customers need to watch out for roaming fees!

Remote session following coming to Alpitronic!
Not sure about the 41MWh total 🤔 It's my Fiat, not a cargo ship
They chose the "Siemens" unhelpful approach to tooltips instead of copying Kempower. Just show the damn power limit reason you already know! 🤬

They modified the look ❄️ and sound 🔔 of the Electraline for the holiday
Apparently I can't post multiple videos here, I'll put the end sound in the reply 👇🏻

✅ Send someone to put a new out of service sticker on the reader

Slow progress at the 3(!) Electra stations of Affoltern am Albis
Including the 4 spots off-freeway that I missed last time
East side has been paved and bollards installed. Didn't see anything new on the almost finished West side
