Gas stations: Better supply for electric vehicles
REVIEW In Switzerland, the number of service stations decreased only slightly in 2022. There are 158 branded filling stations with at least one fast-charging station, an increase of almost 60 percent within one year.
The annual survey of branded service stations conducted by Avenergy Suisse shows that there were 3314 branded service stations in Switzerland at the end of 2022, eleven fewer than a year earlier. This means that the trend toward fewer stations is continuing at a slightly slower pace. The number of service stations on highways remains unchanged at 65. Compared with the rest of Europe, Switzerland still has one of the densest networks of service stations.
More stations with one store
Average fuel sales per service station fell slightly from 1.29 million liters in the previous year to 1.22 million liters. The number of service stations with a store increased by 14 to 1372, with 17 service station stores with an area smaller than 50 square meters being added, contrary to the long-term trend, while on the other hand the number of larger stores stagnated. 158 service stations offer at least one electric fast charging station. The number of hydrogen filling stations increased from eight to eleven, and the number of natural gas and liquid gas dispensers remained constant.
