Is there a way to find charging stations for e-bikes? (lemmy.world)

Hi,

I have an e-bike, and I am looking to do a longer trip with it, that will require charging it several times. I've been looking for a map of charging stations, but haven't found any. Most maps seem to be for cars instead. Is there anything available?

Thanks!

https://www.e-mobile.ch/de/oeffentliche-ladestation-finden/ has a map, and so does the app from bikester. The SchweizMobil app also has some charging stations, though they are hidden among other service facilities.

However, you usually don't need charging stations. Do a lunch break (or a coffee break, beer break, ice cream break, ...) at a restaurant, cafe, bar and ask nicely if you can charge your battery while you're there. I tried that dozens of times, with a 100% success rate.

Thanks for your answer!

I find it hard to find bike charging stations from these sites that seem to focus on electric cars. And I haven't been able to find that bikester app, would you have a link?

That's great advice! Thanks a lot.
