It's crazy that this is one of GOFAST largest locations, yet I cannot find any picture of the latest setup.

It started with just one 120kW two-user, then in March 2023 a two-user 300kW charger was added. This is what we see on all the pictures I can find. In May 2024, 3 or 4 new two-user 300kW chargers have been added, yet I cannot find any picture of where they are.

I say 3 or 4 because it's not even clear. In Swisscharge and opendata there are the oldest chargers 1 and 2, and the new 3, 4 and 6. There's no number 5. So that would make a total of 10 charging spots. But on GOFAST website it's listed as 12 spots https://app.gofast.swiss/en/s/27

On Google Maps there's a picture uploaded by GOFAST in July 2020 where there seems to be a single charger, still with the DCT2 connector, and no contactless stickers. There are customer pictures from May 2022 showing the sticker with the list of accepted contactless methods on the oldest charger. There's a customer picture from January 2024 showing the 300kW charger to the right of the 120kW charger also having the contactless methods sticker. The text on the charger actually seems to say max 384kW, the official value for the EVTEC ristretto&charge.

The pictures show that CCS CH*SWIEE19366, T2 and DCT2 were on the east side of the oldest charger, with the other plugs on the west. That charger has 2 parking spots painted on each side, it has to be one of the very few 4-user EVTEC chargers that can actually accommodate 4 users at once. Maybe that's why GOFAST counts 12 spots, because they count the 2 additional spots that can only serve AC plugs. There are screens on both sides of the charger.

Satellite images don't help figure things out. On Google Maps images, the station is not built at all. On Swisstopo pictures, only the 4 original parking spots for the first charger are visible without the second charger.

The only hints of the possible location of the new chargers are the Google Maps picture from January 2024, where we can see some construction barriers in the background. So that could place the new chargers in the row behind the first 2 chargers, to their west/north.

On &Charge, it seems like the only picture uploaded for this location is completely black 🤔

Visited on July 28 without charging.

The chargers are split in 3 areas.

The "original" area has the original single charger, still with its 4 parking spaces to allow for 2 DC and 4 AC sessions at the same time. ID "Marisa". Next to this original charger is a self-contained 300kW+ unit ID "Fabrizio" and 2 additional spaces. The older Swisscharge IDs 152916 and 152917 are also still printed on it.

The second area in the next row, closer to the shops, features 3 dispensers for 6 charging spaces without any advertised max power. It seems to be the same ristretto&charge 300kW+, just with the separated stalls. The power cabinets are hidden in a shed near the picnic tables. The IDs from left to right are Cinzia, Tiziano, Mauro. One of these parking spaces was ICEd. The rightmost spot is much larger, but doesn't seem to feature any handicap marking.

The final area is in the truck area, and there's no way to drive back here from the car side or vice-versa. This is another self-contained unit, but no max power advertised. ID Federica.

The 2 charger groups in the car area have a height limit, probably the same 3.8m like the other side, but I was not able to read the sign.

It's not pictured on the maps and difficult to see on the satellite images, but it's actually possible to walk between the 2 sides of the rest stop, through a small underground tunnel. It was practical to take pictures, but not sure how useful this is for regular use. The most interesting stuff seems to be in direction north, so maybe there's a reason to walk to this building.
