Fastned

Fastned is a Dutch company that builds and operates a network of fast charging stations for electric cars, vans, motorcycles and trucks. It was founded in 2012 by Bart Lubbers and Michiel Langezaal, starting from the problem of charging infrastructure that did not yet exist, and has grown into one of the main fast charging networks in Europe.

Stations are recognisable by their yellow, nature-inspired canopies, developed with a team of architects to feel welcoming during the fifteen minutes needed to charge up to 300 kilometres of range, and are conceived so that drivers charge on solar and wind energy. Fastned is based in Amsterdam, at Amstelplein 44, and operates in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Denmark and the United Kingdom.
