Fastned joins the Digital Charging Solutions Preferred Partner Program across nine European countries
Fastned joins the DCS Preferred Partner Program in all of its markets, bringing its offering to mobility apps and the head units of millions of electric vehicles
Fastned, a leading European fast charging network, today announces it has joined the Digital Charging Solutions (DCS) Preferred Partner Program (PPP), effective 1 July 2026.
Fastned joins the program across all of its operating markets: the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Spain, Italy and Denmark, with Austria already secured ahead of its market launch.
DCS provides integrated charging solutions for automotive manufacturers, fleet operators, and other mobility service providers via white label apps or APIs, as well as for drivers directly through the CHARGE NOW app - connecting them to one of Europe's largest public charging networks.
The Preferred Partner Program brings together CPOs that meet DCS's standards for reliability, transparent pricing and driver experience, and gives their charge points greater visibility across DCS's channels. Fastned stations will be featured and highlighted across all of DCS's channels, giving drivers even greater access to fast, reliable charging across Europe.
The partnership also extends to fleet and business drivers. Through DCS’s fleet management and mobility platform integrations, Fastned becomes accessible to business customers, strengthening its position as a reliable fast charging solution for professional electric vehicle (EV) drivers across Europe.
DCS customers gain access to Fastned's offering of 430+ fast charging stations at preferred rates. With stations located on highways, on busy urban roads and at other high-value locations across nine countries, Fastned stations are already on the routes millions of drivers travel every day, delivering 99 per cent uptime. Easily recognisable by their iconic yellow canopy and smart drive-through design, and delivering only renewable energy, each station is welcoming, well-lit and equipped with security cameras. Alongside high quality fast charging, many Fastned stations feature a growing range of on-site amenities, including restaurants, shops, outdoor areas and sanitary facilities, completing the offer for private and business drivers.
This partnership is a direct expression of Fastned’s ambition to make charging as easy and affordable as possible. Together with DCS, we will make Fastned’s reliable and convenient charging experience accessible to more drivers across Europe through the platforms and services they already use.
Fast charging is something drivers choose every day, but it can be hard to find high-quality infrastructure at the right price. By working with partners such as DCS, we can make it easier for drivers to access Fastned while continuing to offer a fair, transparent and affordable charging experience.
Our Preferred Partner Program gives drivers confidence that the charge point they are heading to will work, and at an attractive price. Fastned delivers exactly that, with high uptime, fast charging speed and the same quality of experience in every market. As a pan-European partner, Fastned joins the program across its European footprint – another strong anchor for the charging offering we build for our customers, whether a driver plans their charging stop in the vehicle, in a mobility app or in CHARGE NOW.
