The new Supercharger is located at the motorway A1 in Egerkingen
and energizes the routes between Zurich and Bern, Basel
to Central Switzerland, and the
South of Germany to the Tessin.
The new Supercharger further enables Model S owners to travel to
their favorite business or holiday destinations, for free.
Switzerland's newly energized
routes also showcase the importance of the European market for
Tesla. The new site is another step towards an extensive
Supercharger network in Tesla's major European markets, including
Scandinavia, the DACH region, the UK, Benelux, and
France.
Superchargers are strategically placed to allow owners to drive
long distances with minimal stops. Supercharging sites are located
near amenities like roadside diners, cafes, and shopping centers so
road-trippers can stop for a quick meal and have their Model S
charged by the time they're done.
The Tesla Supercharger is one of the most powerful charging
technologies in existence, providing up to 135 kilowatts of DC
(Direct Current) power directly to the Model S battery using
special cables that bypass the on-board charging equipment.
Superchargers replenish half a charge in about 20 minutes.
The new Supercharger in Egerkingen is located at exit 14 on the
A1.
