Company mission
To accelerate the transition to electric driving by giving freedom to electric drivers.
41% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Increased awareness of the negative damage fossil fuels have on our planet has led to government legislation in several countries to ban carbon and diesel cars in the next decade, and this presents an opportunity for electric vehicles powered by renewable energy. However, Europe currently lacks the crucial infrastructure to facilitate the transition to electric cars, particularly charging stations.
Fastned partners with landowners, businesses, project developers, and civil engineers to build superfast electric car chargers powered by 100% renewable energy across European locations. The company currently runs nearly 350 charging stations across seven European countries and recharges electric vehicles for up to 300km in only 15 minutes.
Whilst it is inevitable that Fastned will face significant competition from dominating services such as ChargePoint, the company shows significant potential for scaling due to its location partnership program. But the company is scaling, fast. With over 500 new locations secured or under development and a recent injection of funding, Fastned is very much proving its ready to take on its competition.
