Fastned

At Fastned, we’re not just piloting for the sake of it. The solutions we're testing at some of our new stations in London are templates for scale. Each station developed alongside our Joint Venture partner Places for London (TfL's Property company), follows a unique sustainability strategy, which allows us to experiment with construction methods designed to reduce the carbon footprint of our infrastructure. We recently joined Sustainability Specialist Josie at Hatton Cross, our first station in London in collaboration with Places for London, to learn about how we're building differently. #fastnedcharging

Celebrating 5 years and 100,000 sessions delivered with our Alpitronic HYC300. Five years ago, we installed an Alpitronic HYC300 at our Fastned Haarrijn station near Utrecht, the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 Recently, it crossed 100,000 charging sessions, meaning roughly 55 drivers charged every single day. That's not just a number. It's a testament to what reliable infrastructure looks like in practice: showing up, day after day, for drivers on the road. Here's to the next 100,000. ⚡️

🇩🇪 Just in time for summer holiday season, we've opened four new Fastned stations in northern Germany, all on the same day: 📍 A28 motorway, near Oldenburg (Wechloy Nord & Süd) 📍 A27 motorway, between Bremen & Bremerhaven (Habichthorst Nordwest & Südost) 8 charging spots each, up to 400kW, so drivers can add hundreds of kilometres in just minutes and get back on the road without missing a beat. See you there. ✌️

Inspired by our EV Café event in the Netherlands, we have exported the concept across the channel with our very own London Plugged-In Café. 🇬🇧 Taking over Covent Garden, we assembled the good and the great of London's EV scene, bringing together representatives from national government, local authorities, boroughs and councils and a plethora of actors from across London's EV sector. ⚡ 🗣️ Across three panel discussions we explored how to tackle bottlenecks in London's EV charging deployment and realise a vibrant and equitable charging ecosystem across the Capital. 💛 Huge thank you to the Fastned UK team for making this happen, as well as all our panelists and and everyone who joined! Interested in joining us next time? We'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch with Lisa Simmons to find out more about future events and how you can be involved or attend. We can't wait for the next one!

🇨🇭Two new Fastned stations are now open in Switzerland! 🇨🇭 We're expanding our network with two new locations and each one has its own story. ⚡️ St. Margrethen: right at the Swiss-Austrian border. Cross-border travel just got a lot more convenient, with a shop on-site for everything you need. ☕️🥪 ⚡️ Schaffhausen-Herblingen marks as our first station, and a milestone for the region! Located on the key route toward Stuttgart, with a Fastned Kiosk, Lidl & Aldi nearby. 🚗 Both stations run on our HYC400 chargers, delivering reliable, high-speed charging for every stop; whether you're crossing a border or heading north. See you there. ✌️

Big milestone for Fastned's Operations & Construction teams! 🚀 We recently went live with ServiceNow's Enterprise Asset Management and Field Service Management modules and it's already changing how we work. Our teams now run on a single platform to track charging stations and installed assets, manage charger and spare parts inventory, and coordinate field operations end-to-end. Here's what we built: ⚡ A scalable foundation: built to grow as our network expands and new teams come on board. 🔗 Integrated workflows via Workato to connect ServiceNow with our core business systems, automating work across teams and breaking down silos. 🗺️ Optimised field operations: jobs are now scheduled and routed based on travel distance, workload and SLAs. None of this would have been possible without our implementation partner, Digital Clarity, who guided us along the way. Also, a special shout-out to Lorenzo, our Sr. Project Manager, for making this project happen. 🚀 And this is just the beginning. Phase 2 is already underway. PS.: ServiceNow showed up with a cake shaped like a Fastned station. Best go-live gift ever! 🎂

At Fastned, we believe that truly supporting our people means meeting them where they are, before challenges become problems. That's why we partner with nilo, a mental health platform that gives every Fastned employee the freedom to take care of their wellbeing in their own way: 🗣️ 1-on-1 sessions with a mental health professional. 🎧 Real stories from others navigating their own experiences. 🎓 Workshops to build healthy habits and resilience. 📚 On-demand resources to explore at your own pace. Baer, People Director at Fastned, puts it this way: “At Fastned, we know our people do their best work when they feel happy, healthy, and supported as people - not just employees. Partnering with nilo helps us give everyone the flexibility to care for their mental wellbeing in the way that works for them, and at a time that works for them, before challenges turn into problems.” Because we know that life outside of work shapes how people show up inside it. When our people feel supported as whole human beings, they thrive and so do we. 💛

We just hit a milestone in Germany. 🇩🇪 🪩 🚗 Our 60th German station is now open in Bühl, right next to a major shopping centre and just 2 minutes from the A5 between Karlsruhe and Freiburg. A textbook location for every driver heading through Baden. A huge thank you to everyone who made this happen; from design to construction to all the behind-the-scenes heroes who kept it moving. On to the next one. ⚡

🇩🇪 This week, our Fastned Germany team traded our stations for something a little different: a table, great minds, and an honest conversation. 📌 We hosted a media roundtable in Munich in collaboration with Susie von den Stemmen and her brilliant format Kultur am Tisch; bringing together journalists and voices from across the e-mobility ecosystem for something refreshingly simple: an honest exchange. At Fastned, leading the charge has always meant more than fast-charging infrastructure. It means connecting people who wouldn't otherwise sit at the same table. In a moment where AI is reshaping industries and the e-mobility narrative feels uncertain, that matters more than ever. When you put the right people in a room, "them" slowly becomes "us" and the commonalities that were always there finally get a chance to surface. ⚡ Thank you Susie and everyone who joined us in Munich. Here's to more of this. 🙌

We're building Europe's energy infrastructure of the future - and we couldn't do it without you. ⚡ Our loyal bondholders have raised over €36 million in Fastned's latest bond issue, helping fund further expansion of our network and letting us bring the fastest and most reliable EV charging to millions more drivers. "The fast charging infrastructure we are building across the continent will serve drivers for decades to come, and the loyal support of thousands of bondholders is crucial in accelerating our build-out and driving society towards a clean, all-electric future." - Michiel Langezaal, Co-founder and CEO of Fastned. Thank you to everyone who puts their trust in Fastned to create this exciting new world. Every investment, every station, and every new electric driver is another step forward: towards a cleaner, safer, all-electric future. See you there.
