    I hope that someone in the swiss french area come out on this thread !! But I'm glad that we have so many EV cars fans in whole Switzerland...

    Do you guys plan to install C32 plugs in your homes for charging, and do you plan to install PV to produce your energy ?

    regards

    Hi mdol,

    actually yes - we plan to build a plus energy house a bit outside of Basel in the next year with PV, rain water tank , no heating system just a modern chimney/fireplace and the Model S just fits perfectly into the whole picture.

    No more burning oil - we need it anyway for many many other things...

    for charging I am not sure what the best solution will be... I will have to evaluate once the Model S is available here and all country specific details are known.

    cheers

    I have installed 16 A charging at my house. I do not need 32 A at home, and I think most people do not.

    Look at http://www.solar-car-port.ch. That is the solution we propose. We are able to provide other E-car drivers with very reasonably priced PV modules or with whole solutions like the Solar-Car-Port.

    Morat est bilingue, alors c'est une partie de la Romandie!

    Yes you're right Mitrovic, Morat is bilingue !

    The solution you propose, consist of injecting in the grid ? How many square meter do you have here ?

    Hoi zäme, Patrick writing from Cham ZG

    Model S Signature Performance #268
    Model X #35

    I have been to Geneva, too. Read Chregu's comments, but personally I really haven't got an issue. It was a beta, and this means that it basically was a jigsaw puzzle put together by hand (es Zämesetzli). Go to the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt and look at prorotyes there. They look just like that.

    In this regard I count on Elon and the boys to know what a 100'000 buck car should look and feel like. Surely, they appreciate the finer things in life, too

    What is much more important to me is that I am really done for good with the hydrocarbon mine & burn story. And after being Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar customers for 15 years now, My wife and I find it very annoying to see that especially German car manufacturers just keep ignoring the climate issue. There is just no progress there anymore and the public discussion is driven by people claiming that EV's just have a very long exhaust pipe ending at the carbon power plants. That, however is not the case here. It is easy to get the power needed to charge from renewable resources. 100% of it.

    Tesla is going the way and I support that, knowing that a new technology will most likely not roll out completely free of problems. That would be normal and I will deal with it as best I can, providing feedback and contributing to improvements.

    Brgds, Patrick

    Hi everyone,

    I think its great that we are keeping this CH forum in English because it invites everybody in CH to participate and also all of the TMC community. Great stuff. Lets keep it this way.

    Our family is also in the process of building a carbon neutral and energy positive house in the area around Lausanne. Have a roadster and an X on order which will both be charged by mostly locally produced solar energy. Looking very much forward to the day when the project is finished and we have moved in.........!

    Hy there
    @mdol yes: i have a PV array on top of the garage since 2009 (delivery of my Roadster). It's about 30 m2 and produces the double in electricity i need to drive the Roadster year around (+- 10'000km @ 170Wh/km = 1700kWh, wall to wheel) production of the array 3'600kWh/Y. State of the art arrays will produce up to 50% ore on the same surface In my daily live as an architect, we are promoting zero and/or energy plus houses so that (EV/PV) was only a logical step towards a sustainable, fun future.
    BTW i'm often in lovely Romandie so count me half for that part of CH ; ))

    Yes i'm selling to the grid and buying ecological electricity. This solar car port has 16 module with 175 W. Now we use modules with 240 W each. The Solar Car Port on the site produces electricity for about 12000 Km every year for my roadster.

    The big advantage of our product is that it is simple but sophisticated, so the product is much cheaper then other solutions.
