EV charging analysis

The city’s compact layout and high EV adoption rate, at over 10% of the population, indicate that most charging occurs at home or work, with public infrastructure serving as a backup. The cold climate’s range penalty makes station coverage critical for winter reliability, and Zurich’s network appears adequate for its size, though the sparse route count may discourage frequent intercity travel by EV.
