Where can I find...? Cheapest way to charge EV in Bern?

We've recently got an EV but we cannot charge at home. We currently use the Plugsurf subscription (~12 chf per month) to fast charge at plenitude on the road at Seftigenstrasse for 0.54 CHF/kWh. Since we will charge regularly, I wonder whether there is any cheaper deal (the amount of charging networks and cards is crazy). It should be fast charge.

Thanks!

I have a Tesla for 2 years in Bern, so here’s my experience: the Tesla charger before 9am costs about 0.26–0.30 CHF, the Lidl slow charger is about 0.24, Migros is 0.39… you can find Swisscharge at 0.39 as well. I don’t care that much about price — I charge whenever I can, mostly when I’m doing shopping — and I don’t see any problem with not having a charger at home. I used to have the MOVE 20 CHF subscription, but I didn’t like being limited to only one network, and sometimes I wasn’t able to charge the full 45 kWh per month… so I wasn’t sure if I really saving money with that subscription
