Lightweight electric and electric vehicles need a special infrastructure for recharging the batteries. The difficulties building up this infrastructure and its costs are commonly underestimated. Therefore in Switzerland a simple and cheap charging system called ' Park & Charge' has been developed. After a successful pilot test in Bern 1993-1995 the system will be introduced in the whole country. The needed number of charging stations and the costs of installing these installations will be displayed with Switzerland as an example. The aim of the Promotion Programme 'Lightweight Electric Vehicles' in Switzerland are 200000 electric vehicles running by the year 2010. For these figures the total number of charging stations and the costs needed for the infrastructure are estimated.
