In February, Astra launched a call for projects to further promote electromobility in Switzerland. According to information from Astra on Tuesday, the aim was to award five lots, each with eleven plots spread across the whole of Switzerland, to companies for reservation.
Seven applications were received within three months, from which the best five were selected after a thorough examination. The companies have three years to plan the fast-charging hubs and apply for a building permit. The companies themselves are responsible for the planning, financing, construction, electricity connection, operation and maintenance.
