Fastned raises over €36 million in bond issue
Fastned, a leading European fast charging company, has successfully completed its second retail bond campaign of 2026, raising €36.5m from thousands of individual retail investors in the Netherlands and Belgium.
Funds raised will support Fastned's network expansion as sales of electric cars rose sharply during the first half of 2026. According to the European Alternative Fuels Observatory there are now over 11 million fully electric cars registered across the EU, UK and EFTA.
Fastned’s network of fast charging stations spans nine countries, with 423 stations serving electric drivers across Europe. The company reported strong results for Q1 2026, generating €39.2 million in revenue related to charging (up 40% year-on-year and a new quarterly high for the company) and welcoming drivers for over 2.1 million charging sessions, delivering 55.6 GWh of renewable energy.
This tranche of retail bonds, which closed on Sunday 21 June 2026, was the 21st in Fastned's bond programme. Of the total €36.5m raised, €35.1m consisted of new investments - a Fastned record for a single round - while €1.4m came from long-standing supporters extending their investments from earlier tranches. This latest tranche brings the total outstanding amount of retail bonds to €337 million.
To date, €45 million worth of bonds have been repaid by Fastned and €81 million worth of bonds have been extended by investors prior to reaching maturity, showing investors’ continued support for Fastned. More information on our bonds can be found on the Investor Relations page on Fastned’s website.
In January 2026 Fastned secured a bank financing facility of up to €200 million from a lending syndicate made up of ABN AMRO, Credit Agricole, ING, Invest-NL and Rabobank, initially supporting expansion in Belgium and Switzerland. In June the company officially opened the first ultra-rapid hub in London at Hatton Cross (close to Heathrow Airport) as part of its partnership with Places for London, the property company of Transport for London.
In early June 2026 the company also welcomed partners, investors and friends for an evening of discussion and Q+A at Fastned Behind the Scenes. On 22 June 2026 Fastned confirmed its intention to create two new roles as it accelerates its path towards profitable growth: a Chief Commercial Officer and a Vice-President Technology. Fastned will publish its interim report (covering H1 2026) on 13 August 2026.
"Europe’s drive towards electrification has never been more urgent, and Fastned is responding to the challenge. The fast charging infrastructure we are building across the continent will serve drivers for decades to come, and the loyal support of thousands of bondholders is crucial in accelerating our build-out and driving society towards a clean, all-electric future."
