Amsterdam’s Fastned completes its most successful bond issue to date; raises €36.5M+ to fast track its goal 

On Friday, Amsterdam-based Fastned, the fast-charging company, announced that it has completed its most successful bond issue to date, with over €36.5M raised in the company’s first tranche of 2025.

This tranche is the 17th in Fastned’s bond programme.

Of this latest issue, more than €20M comes from new investments, while over €16M came from existing investors extending their investments from earlier tranches.

This is the largest amount ever raised by Fastned in a single bond issue, and follows three tranches issued in 2024 which together raised over €80M.

This tranche brings the total outstanding amount of bonds with retail investors to more than €227M. 

“Our network is growing rapidly and the support of valued investors is essential to fund our scaling in location acquisition and station construction in 2025. In times of political and economic uncertainty, we are inspired by how many people want to make their voices heard and invest in e-mobility as the sustainable business of the future. Together our momentum is remarkable – with over 500 locations now secured, we are right on track to hit our goal of 1,000 stations across Europe by 2030,” says Michiel Langezaal, co-founder and CEO of Fastned.

The development comes a month after announcing a subscription to a new bond issue in the Netherlands and Belgium.

With 576 high-traffic locations secured so far, and 347 charging stations operational to date, the Dutch company is set to achieve its goal of 1,000 stations by 2030. 

Fastned: Developing fast-charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs)
