How to fix Swisscharge not working
Swisscharge is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
App hangs at 'starting charge'
The spinner runs forever and you are stuck at the plug. Force stop Swisscharge, sign out, clear the app cache in Android settings or reinstall on iOS, then start the session with your RFID card, because the card skips the backend handshake and shows whether the charger itself responds. A lot of the 'Swisscharge not working today' reports we get end here.
Rule out the charger before the network
Start with the station. Swisscharge sits on top of dozens of local charge point operators, so one charger rejecting your card often means broken hardware on that corner while the Swisscharge network status stays green; check the error code on its display and try a neighboring plug, because a charger 200 meters away that works gives you the real answer.
Missing charging session in your history
You unplug at 07:40 and the session never shows up in the app. Roaming operators sometimes take a day or two to forward their data to Swisscharge, so give it 48 hours before you open a ticket. Keep a photo of the station ID and the charging port number, because support will ask for both.
Read the detector graph properly
Searches for 'is Swisscharge down' and 'Swisscharge outage today 2026' spike whenever a large charge point operator drops off the roaming map. The Swisscharge down detector on this page is showing 0 reports in the last 24 hours with 100.00% uptime. Complaints clustered around one park in Zurich are a local fault, while a spike spread across several cities within the same hour points at the backend, and waiting it out beats reinstalling anything.
Check your connection and DNS
The map stays blank and nothing loads. Before you settle on 'is Swisscharge down right now' as the answer, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or flush your DNS cache with ipconfig /flushdns on Windows and an airplane mode toggle on your phone. The Swisscharge server status here reads operational and the last outage was more than 24 hours ago, so if both look normal then 'is Swisscharge working' answers yes, and your phone or router is the suspect.

What happens when Swisscharge goes down
Swisscharge is one of the bigger Swiss EV charging networks, and its card and app start sessions at partner stations across the country. Its backend talks to the chargers.

A Swisscharge outage turns a healthy station into a dead one, because your charging session is authorized by Swisscharge's backend rather than by the station itself. You notice it at the pillar.

How we track Swisscharge
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Swisscharge, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Swisscharge, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Swisscharge doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
