Fastned to establish 34 EV charging sites in Germany

As part of the country’s “Deutschlandnetz” tender, the company will open these locations in the Northern region in 2025.

Fastned has been granted permission to establish 34 electric vehicle (EV) charging sites across Germany’s highways.

As part of the “Deutschlandnetz” tender, these locations will contribute to the company’s goal of establishing 1,000 fast charging stations across Europe by 2030. Fastned has been awarded one of six lots to roll out the new sites, which will be located across the Northern region of the country.

“We can now offer our customers the Fastned service directly on the German highway for the first time. So far, there are no plans to build restaurants and shops at the rest areas or to upgrade the sanitary facilities, which would make the sites a lot more attractive. We hope to enter into dialogue with Autobahn GmbH and the Federal Ministry in this regard and ultimately be able to offer our customers the best possible charging experience,” said Linda Boll, Country Manager of Fastned Germany

This second part of the “Deutschlandnetz” tender will result in fast charging infrastructure being built at a total of 200 unmanaged service areas along German highways. The company had already won two lots on the first edition of the tender, encompassing 92 areas, with the first station opened in December of 2023.

Fastned expects to start building the locations of the most recent tender in 2025.
