Tips for Charging with Lidl Charging in Switzerland
- CCS2 is the standard connector at all Lidl chargers in Switzerland.
- Prices at the charger will be in CHF. If you are using a cross-border payment method, check your bank's currency conversion fees.
- Swiss Lidl stores generally have shorter opening hours than in neighboring countries. Plan accordingly.
- Switzerland's mountainous terrain affects range. If you are heading into the Alps, top up at a Lidl in the lowlands before climbing.
Common Issues
- Only select Swiss Lidl stores have chargers. Verify the location has a charger before planning your stop.
- Limited charging stalls per store mean you may find the charger occupied, especially on Saturday mornings.
- The 150 kW speed is solid for a 20-30 minute top-up, but drivers with vehicles capable of faster charging will not reach their car's maximum speed here.
Switzerland has multiple other charging networks with strong highway and urban coverage.
