Portuguese charging solutions provider i-charging said one of its high-power chargers achieved near-continuous availability in a commercial fleet application in Switzerland, highlighting the potential reliability of electric truck infrastructure when tailored to specific operational needs.
The company said its blueberry charger recorded 99.96% operational availability in 2025 during an 18-month deployment supporting an electric truck operated by Swisspor Romandie SA. The charger supports a battery-electric truck supplied by Scania used for daily delivery routes across Switzerland.

According to i-charging, the installation experienced just 0.04% downtime over a 10-month period in 2025. Energy delivered through the charger rose sharply over time, increasing from 1.6 megawatt-hours in 2023 to 22.3 MWh in 2024 and 58.3 MWh in 2025, reflecting growing utilisation as the electric truck was integrated into regular operations.
Swisspor Romandie required a charging solution capable of supporting tight delivery schedules, multiple daily charging sessions and overnight battery conditioning to maintain optimal battery temperature in line with Scania’s recommendations. i-charging said it developed a customised installation after other suppliers indicated that some of the requirements, particularly overnight battery conditioning, could not be met.

“Our experience with i-charging’s blueberry has been very positive,” said Anthony Grandjean. “Beyond its great ease of use and consistently solid performance, we particularly appreciate its ability to maintain the truck battery at optimal temperature overnight. This is critical for our daily delivery schedule and for ensuring efficient battery use according to Scania’s recommendations.”
Operational data provided by i-charging show the charger regularly delivered more than 400 kilowatt-hours per day during peak periods, with more than 40 charging sessions on high-demand days. Average charger occupancy stood at about 28%, while remote monitoring via the company’s my.i-charging platform was used to support preventive maintenance.

The installation, located in Châtel-St-Denis, has become one of the highest-performing chargers in i-charging’s network, the company said. Based on 2025 energy delivery levels, i-charging estimates a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared with diesel truck operations, although it noted that actual environmental impact depends on usage patterns and local electricity generation.
