Gofast: Eat fast and load at McDonald's
INCREASED OFFER The Swiss fast-charging provider Gofast is launching a project together with McDonald's Switzerland to develop a charging infrastructure. By the end of 2022, almost 90 fast-charging locations are to be created in Switzerland. The expansion will begin with the locations in Martigny, La Tour-de-Trême, Lugano, Kölliken and Hinwil.

The expansion will begin with the locations in Martigny, La Tour-de-Trême, Lugano, Kölliken and Hinwil. Gofast is installing charging infrastructure on site with a capacity of up to 150 kW each. The devices will exclusively supply Swiss electricity from renewable energy sources.
For Gofast, the cooperation with McDonald's offers the opportunity to realize fast-charging locations in prime traffic locations throughout Switzerland.
Joint efforts to protect the environment
Aglaë Strachwitz, Managing Director McDonald's Switzerland: "We have been working together for years to protect the environment. For example, our logistics partner runs on biodiesel and biogas produced from our kitchen waste. We rely on the train for transportation, on hydroelectric power for electricity and now increasingly on fast charging stations for our guests."
Gofast CEO Dominic Lanz adds: "In McDonald's Switzerland, we have found an ideal partner for the further expansion of our charging parks. While the car is charging outside, you can eat at McDonald's at the same time and continue your journey after 20 to 30 minutes."
Largest park with 20 charging spaces in Würenlos
Gofast is aiming for the largest HPC network in Switzerland. The company will set up 20 locations in Switzerland alone. Background: In March 2019, the company was awarded the contract to build fast-charging stations at 100 Swiss service areas alongside three other Swiss and one Dutch provider.
One of the largest HPC parks in Switzerland to date also comes from Gofast: a year ago, a site with 20 charging stations and up to 300 kW charging power was put into operation at the Würenlos service station.
