Have a Wallbox Installed in Zurich: EV Charger from a Specialist Company
Planning and installing wallboxes in and around Zurich: manufacturer-independent, with an eye on your existing or planned photovoltaic system.
Wallbox Zurich – charging stations from a specialist company
ecoEn plans and installs wallboxes in and around Zurich – as a direct specialist company, manufacturer-independent and with an eye on your existing or planned photovoltaic system. From a simple wall charging station to load management for several vehicles, we handle planning, installation and registration.
We work in the City and Canton of Zurich, in the Basel region and in the cantons of Aargau, Zug, Schwyz, Thurgau and Schaffhausen. If you want to run the wallbox on solar power, ideally combine it right away with a photovoltaic system and battery storage – we match the systems to each other.
Swissolar Solarprofi
Your partner for wallboxes & charging solutions
ecoEn plans and installs wallboxes for homes and businesses – manufacturer-independent and directly linked to your existing or planned photovoltaic system. From a single charging point to load management for several vehicles, we handle consultation, installation and registration with the grid operator.
Why ecoEn for your wallbox?
Your car charges when your roof produces
With surplus charging, the wallbox follows the sun: when there is plenty of sunshine it charges faster – when a cloud passes, it turns the power down. That way as much solar power as possible ends up in the car instead of the grid (depending on the wallbox and its settings).
- Lots of sunThe wallbox uses the surplus from the solar system and charges at high power.
- A cloud passesWhen production drops, the wallbox turns the charging power down.
- Charge level risesOver the course of the day, the battery fills up with your own solar power.
How your wallbox gets connected
From the first conversation to a working charging station – the process is straightforward, the details depend on your location.
- Initial consultationFree and without obligation: we discuss the vehicle, charging power and whether a photovoltaic system should be integrated.
- Site checkMeter cabinet, cable route and protection: we check what's technically possible at your location.
- QuoteTransparently itemised, including device, installation and registration.
- Registration with the grid operatorWallboxes must be registered – we handle the registration for you.
- InstallationProfessional electrical installation by our own team.
- Commissioning & handoverTesting, instruction and handover – after that, we remain your point of contact.
What does a wallbox cost?
The mistake would be to look only at the device price: the bigger and more variable item is the installation – it depends mainly on the route between the meter box and the parking space.
| Item | Guideline | What drives it |
|---|---|---|
| Wallbox device | from a few hundred to over CHF 1,000 | Power, smart functions, load management |
| Installation | CHF 1,500–3,000 | Cable route, meter box, circuit breaker |
| Additional work | approx. CHF 500–1,000 | Wall breakthrough, long routes |
| Total (single-family home) | around CHF 2,500–5,000 | Overall situation |
Guideline values as of July 2026 – the individual quote after the site check is decisive. In the simplest case, with the parking space right next to a modern meter box, the total may also be lower.

Incentives: Zurich programme exhausted, Basel-Stadt continues to provide funding
The charging infrastructure incentive programme of the Canton of Zurich has ended: the budget of CHF 50 million was 100 per cent used up in October 2026, and new applications are no longer possible. Applications already submitted continue to be processed or are placed on a waiting list. Only the measure «Ladestation im Quartier» for political municipalities continues.
What remains: some municipalities and energy suppliers pay their own contributions; this can be checked for your address via energiefranken.ch. Where there is a programme, we submit the funding application for you.
Basel-Stadt works differently: the canton covers 60 percent of the basic installation, up to a maximum of CHF 1’300 per private charging point – the wallbox itself is not subsidised; the programme runs until the end of 2030.

Further guides on wallboxes
Wallbox plus solar power: from one hand
If you want to charge your EV cheaply, combine the wallbox with a photovoltaic system and use your own solar power; battery storage increases the share you can charge yourself. Because we plan and install all trades ourselves, we match the systems to each other from the start – the overview of the complete solution from one hand shows how it all works together.
What our quote includes – and what it doesn't
The most common worry before signing isn't the price but the question of what gets added at the end. That's why we show both.
Included: planning and design, materials (modules, inverter, mounting system, cabling), scaffolding, installation, the electrical connection by our own specialist company, commissioning and measurement, registration with the grid operator and the incentive application to Pronovo – we submit it for you.
Shown separately: anything added in individual cases appears as its own item in the quote, not in a lump sum. The most common case: if the existing meter distribution board – the fuse box – is not suitable for the system and needs to be adapted, we invoice this separately. Depending on the property, official fees and work provided by the client may also apply.
Payment in stages, linked to project progress. Under our terms and conditions (AGB), that's 30% on placing the order, 50% on delivery of the main components and 20% after commissioning and acceptance. We agree different terms on a project basis; the arrangement in your quote always applies.
Who is liable for what
After the company bankruptcies in the Swiss solar industry, this is the question that counts in the end – and it has three different answers:
- Product and performance warranties lie with the manufacturer of the modules, inverter and storage. A manufacturer's warranty is only ever as reliable as the manufacturer behind it – that's why, when choosing products, we also consider who will still be reachable if something goes wrong.
- The installation warranty lies with us: installation, electrical work, commissioning. That's the part we honour directly.
- Business liability insurance: as an installation company, we carry liability insurance.
In the event of a fault, you have one point of contact – us – regardless of whose component is affected.
