    What They Do

    Fastned focuses on developing fast charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, powered by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Their charging stations are designed to provide up to 300 km of range in just 15 minutes via chargers up to 50 kW. The emphasis is on expanding their network along highways, allowing drivers easy access to charging points during long journeys (source: gust.com). The primary products and services include a network of fast charging stations where drivers pay per kWh for electricity, with a strong emphasis on universal compatibility for all types of electric vehicles (source: gust.com). Fastned primarily serves markets in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and Belgium, with plans for expansion into France and Switzerland (source: gust.com). The company holds a leading position in the Dutch fast charging market, with over 200 stations, and distinguishes itself through dense national coverage and integration of renewable energy (source: delftxdownloads.tudelft.nl).

    Projects & Track Record

    One of Fastned's most notable projects is the Palmpol station on the A1 near Barneveld, opened in 2013 as the first major fast charging station in the Netherlands. This station marked the beginning of Fastned's network, which has now grown to over 290 stations across Europe, with national coverage in the Netherlands (source: fastnedcharging.com). By the end of 2020, Fastned had 129 stations in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, and Belgium, and the expansion of their network includes ongoing projects such as the first Belgian station near Ostend-Bruges Airport, opened in October 2020 (source: siliconcanals.com). The focus is on adding chargers to existing stations and building new locations to increase capacity (source: siliconcanals.com).

    Recent Developments

    In the past two years, Fastned celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Palmpol station, highlighting the growth of their network to over 290 locations (source: fastnedcharging.com). The company has gone through several funding rounds, including raising €17 million in October-November 2020 through bonds, which contributed to the expansion of stations and chargers (source: siliconcanals.com). Although no major acquisitions or mergers have been documented, Fastned has achieved significant milestones, such as a revenue growth of 54% in Q3 2020 and the opening of their first Belgian station (source: siliconcanals.com).

The company often attracts young engineers, particularly from the TU Delft community, and focuses its recruitment efforts at the headquarters in Amsterdam (source: gust.com). The company culture emphasizes building bold infrastructure to solve the "chicken-and-egg" problem of electric vehicles, with a focus on reliable networks that enable full EV adoption (source: fastnedcharging.com).
