High capital requirement: Fastned issues new bonds
Fastned is issuing new bonds in the Netherlands and Belgium. This follows three bond rounds in 2024 and 2025, which, according to the company, raised a total of €192 million. To date, Fastned has repaid €45 million in bonds, while investors have extended €77 million in bonds before maturity.
Founded in 2012, the company currently operates over 400 charging stations across nine European countries, with 60 new locations added in 2025. In a brief update on the fourth quarter, the company reported an increase in revenue per station to an average of €335,000—a 25% rise. The full figures for 2025 will be published in Fastned’s annual report on 19 March 2026.
One thing is clear: by 2030, Fastned aims to expand its network to 1,000 stations. To achieve this, the Dutch fast-charging provider secured up to €200 million in fresh capital from banks in January. The new financing framework includes an initial €100 million in committed capital over the next three years to fund the expansion of stations in Belgium and Switzerland. Additionally, there is an option for a further €100 million to support expansion into other countries. The funds come from a European banking consortium comprising ABN AMRO, Crédit Agricole, ING, Invest-NL, and Rabobank.
“The new financing framework will fund new Fastned stations, the expansion and capacity upgrades of existing sites (including further development of the retail offering), as well as the acquisition of new sites for project development,” the company stated in January. The bank credit facility represents the third pillar of funding, alongside its retail bond programme and its listing on Euronext Amsterdam. This diversification is intended to enhance “flexibility and financing security.”
