The electromobility roadmap that has been working in Switzerland since 2018 shall be strengthened and prolonged until 2025. With a “broad range” of recent and up to date measures, the brand new formidable objectives are to be achieved by the tip of 2025.
Representatives of the automotive, electrical energy, actual property and fleet sectors in addition to the federal authorities, cantons, cities and municipalities launched this new stage of the roadmap with their signatures on 16 May. 75 measures are to contribute to the achievement of three outlined objectives.
The first stage of the Roadmap E-Mobility from 2018 to 2022 pursued the purpose of accelerating the share of electrical automobiles and plug-in hybrids in new passenger automotive registrations to fifteen % by 2022. This goal has already been achieved early on, it mentioned in a press release. In April, the market share of BEV passenger automobiles in new registrations was 13.4 per cent and the share of PHEV passenger automobiles was 8.2 per cent. Looking on the first 4 months of this yr, the share of pure electrical automobiles in new automotive registrations is 15.6 per cent and that of PHEV automobiles at 9 per cent.
In view of this, Federal Councillor Simonetta Sommaruga, head of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC), advised extending the roadmap until the tip of 2025 with formidable targets. According to the press launch, the brand new goals had been collectively developed in workshops, a top-level assembly and a written session of the roadmap stakeholders.
Three new objectives had been outlined for the brand new stage: By the tip of 2025, the share of electrical automobiles and plug-in hybrids in new registrations is to succeed in 50 per cent. In addition, 20,000 public charging stations are to be accessible in the identical interval. At the start of 2022, there have been round 7,150 publicly accessible charging stations. Thirdly, the purpose of “user-friendly and grid-friendly charging – at home, at the place of work and on the road” was set.
A full 59 organisations are shaping the Roadmap 2025 with 75 measures, together with 44 new and 31 tailored or prolonged measures. A “centrepiece of the new stage” are the cross-actor measures that tackle “particularly relevant challenges”: Charging in multi-party buildings, charging in neighbourhoods and the round economic system of traction batteries (reuse as second-life batteries and recycling).
The Swiss authorities sealed the beginning of this new stage on 16 May 2022 at a signing occasion with Federal Councillor Simonetta Sommaruga in Biel on the Switzerland Innovation Park. The Roadmap Electromobility can be open to different organisations and corporations that additionally need to contribute to the achievement of the purpose.
