EV charging for underground car parks in the Canton of Basel-City
What applies to your car park in the Canton of Basel-City
Subsidy for private parking facilities in Basel-City
Basel-City subsidises the basic installation for charge points from July 2024 to the end of 2030. The canton covers 60% of the investment cost, at most CHF 1,300 per private parking space. For publicly accessible spaces, the limit is CHF 3,500. The subsidy covers cables, distribution and load management from the house connection onwards. The EV charger itself and any grid reinforcement are excluded.
Application before installation
We prepare the application together with the property management and submit it before installation begins. Because the programme runs until the end of 2030, there is time for careful planning. We record all parking spaces in the facility, so that the basic installation is designed for the whole car park from the start and wallboxes can be added later without new groundwork.
Condominium ownership and rented properties
For apartment buildings with an underground car park or courtyard parking, the owners in condominium ownership (STWEG) decide according to the Civil Code and their regulations. In rented properties, the landlord agrees. Load management shares the available power between all spaces, each wallbox is metered separately, and users pay for what they use.
Billing the charging electricity is one of the property management’s tasks. For this, each charge point measures its own consumption, and the data can be analysed per user. No estimates or flat rates are needed. We handle planning, installation and commissioning from one source, with our own installers.
IWB as grid operator
In Basel-City, IWB Industrielle Werke Basel supplies all three communes. The cantonal median is 33.2 ct./kWh, which is 5.5 centimes more than the Swiss median of 27.7 ct./kWh. Before installation, our electrical installer registers the system with IWB, and after installation issues the safety certificate. On request, we pre-finance the subsidy.

Frequently asked questions
Before you get in touch.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes. The visit and the quote cost you nothing and commit you to nothing. You only decide once you hold the binding quote in your hands.
How much does the Canton of Basel-City subsidise for EV chargers in an underground car park?
60% of the investment cost for the basic installation, at most CHF 1,300 per private parking space. The programme runs from July 2024 to the end of 2030.
What is part of the subsidised basic installation in Basel-City?
Cables, distribution and load management from the house connection onwards. The EV charger itself and grid reinforcement are not part of the subsidy.
Who submits the subsidy application for the car park in Basel-City?
We prepare the application with the property management and submit it before installation begins.
Must property management allow every tenant an EV charger?
There is no clear legal entitlement. In practice, many property managers agree if the tenant bears the cost and the solution suits the building. A shared solution for all parking spaces is usually cheaper than many individual installations.
Who decides on EV chargers in condominium ownership?
That depends on the regulations and the scope. Work on shared parts such as the supply line and distribution board usually needs a resolution of the owners' meeting. We provide the documents for the vote.
Is the house connection enough for several electric cars?
Often yes, if load management shares out the power. Then not all cars charge at full power at the same time. We calculate whether the connection is enough using the load data of your building.
Which regions do you cover?
All of German-speaking Switzerland. We build most often in the cantons of Zurich, St. Gallen, Schwyz and Aargau. Our locations are in Zumikon ZH and Lachen SZ.
