Netherlands fast-charging specialist Fastned has acquired its first 14 locations in Germany, which will be used to site multiple fast chargers.

The new locations see Fastned partner with the municipality of Limburg, hotel chain Van der Valk and property developer Lutzenberger Projektentwicklung

The sites form part of Fastned’s plans for a pan-European network and are due to be joined by more locations in Germany as well as in other countries in the coming months.

Michiel Langezaal, CEO Fastned, said: ” As charging speeds increase, charging will become like refuelling your car, and fast charging stations will be the petrol stations of the future.”
