EV charging for underground car parks in Upper Valais

What applies to your car park in Upper Valais

Subsidy in Upper Valais

The Valais subsidy programme for EV chargers ran from November 2020 to September 2022 and has ended. The current subsidy page of the Cantonal Office for Energy and Hydropower (Dienststelle für Energie und Wasserkraft) lists no programme for EV chargers for 2026, so we name no cantonal amount. Individual communes and energy suppliers in Upper Valais (Oberwallis) may offer contributions. We clarify this for your location before the quote.

Condominium ownership with holiday flats

Larger owners’ associations may include holiday flats. The owners decide according to the Civil Code and their regulations. We provide a quote that can also be put to the owners in writing, with separate items for the shared installation and the individual wallboxes. In rented properties, the landlord gives consent.

Expansion in stages

An underground car park can be equipped only partly at first. We plan the supply cable and the load management for all spaces and at first install only the wallboxes that are needed now. More follow when owners buy an electric car. Metering each charge point means everyone pays only for their own consumption.

For properties with changing occupancy, metering each charge point is especially worthwhile. Each wallbox bills its own consumption, even if the flat is only used from time to time. The property management does not have to split electricity costs, and the owners see what they have actually charged.

Grid operators in Upper Valais

In Upper Valais, the communes are supplied by EnBAG Netze, RELL and VED Visp Energie Dienste, among others. The average household price is 24.6 ct./kWh, which is 3.1 centimes below the Swiss median of 27.7 ct./kWh. The utilities’ tariffs range from 9.6 to 31.7 ct./kWh, so we calculate with your utility’s tariff. Our electrical installer handles the registration before installation.

Frequently asked questions

Before you get in touch.

Your question is not listed?

044 980 08 80info@solarinnovation.ch
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.

Is there still a subsidy in Upper Valais for EV chargers in underground car parks?

The cantonal programme ended in 2022, and none is listed for 2026. We check contributions from communes and energy suppliers.

Who decides in Upper Valais on EV chargers in a condominium owners' association with holiday flats?

The owners, under the Civil Code (ZGB) and their regulations. We provide a quote that can also be put to the owners in writing.

In Upper Valais, can the car park be only partly equipped at first?

Yes. We plan the supply cable for all spaces and at first install only the wallboxes that are needed now.

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.
