Swiss EV cost comparison
Compare electric vehicles by CHF/km across five acquisition paths: buy new, buy used, German import, subscribe, or lease.
Live beta
Live beta at ev.zzd.ch. Data is hand-curated market data updated 2026-08-10 (Aargau-scoped, 25 listings), not continuously updated.
The Swiss EV market's five acquisition paths - new purchase, used cars, German imports, subscriptions, and leases - are fundamentally different in their cost structures and impossible to compare by eye. This tool ranks vehicles by annual cost per kilometer under your usage profile, accounting for depreciation, financing, insurance, cantonal tax, energy (at home and public charging rates), maintenance, tires, lease/subscription overage, and import fees. Adjust your annual kilometers, holding period, charging behaviour, and residual-value sensitivity (+-20%) to see how rankings shift.
All cost components are hand-verified against official Aargau rates (Strassenverkehrsamt tax, real insurance quotes, verified electricity rates). Listings are real market offers - no fictitious data. The code is open; the data is seed-based (hand-curated, not live-scraped), so updates are manual. No login, no accounts, no tracking, no cookies beyond technical ones.
Where it stands
- Aargau-scoped only (tax model covers AG only).
- 25 hand-verified listings as of 2026-08-10.
- Data is manually updated - not live market prices.
- Beta stage: the UI and cost model are stable; edge cases may exist.
Break-even: $0/mo (colocated on the free-tier zzd.ch box alongside the agency site; no separate infra cost).
