Utoquai: Parking garage becomes loading house
The Amag Group launches Switzerland's first charging station in Zurich. Because more and more customers are opting for an electric car or a plug-in hybrid model, there is often a lack of charging options at the place of residence.
By 2025, more than 50 percent of new registrations in Switzerland are expected to be plug-in vehicles, and as much as 70 percent from 2030. Especially in cities, where space is scarce and rental density is high, many properties do not yet have enough charging points. This is where Amag's charging house concept comes in, offering a quick solution for tenants and condominium owners.
Various price models on offer
With the Utoquai charging station, Amag now offers residents the opportunity to park and charge their vehicles overnight in a protected area. The parking garage at Färberstrasse 6 has 150 parking spaces, 50 of which have been equipped with a charging station for a few weeks.
Customers and those who would like to become customers can choose a suitable offer from various price models. A flat rate including electricity and parking overnight and on weekends is available from 270 francs per month.
Around the clock access to the loading area
Customers can use a parking card to access the parking garage and the charging station at any time. There are no fixed parking space allocations; parking is possible in any free space with a charging station. The parking card, which is also a charging card, activates the charging process.
And solutions are also offered for the vacation season. Customers who have chosen a Night & Weekend subscription can park their car in the Utoquai loading bay for a maximum of four weeks per year and for CHF 12.50 per day. The offer can be cancelled monthly and paid by monthly invoice.
Further stations are planned
The next Amag car park will open as early as this month. In the Kongress parking lot in Zurich, the Night & Weekend rate will be available as a subscription. In the fall, the Messe multi-storey parking lot - in the Messe Zurich parking garage - will also expand Amag's range of services.
