The Dutch fast-charging company has secured fresh capital through retail bonds to scale its infrastructure across Europe.
"We are proud of the trust investors have put in Fastned again. Despite a challenging capital market environment, with continued inflation and increasing interest rates, Fastned once again proved its resilience in the retail bond market with a solid and growing investor base. Together, we not only build fast charging stations on high traffic locations, but we also grow a community around electric driving. We believe that the electric revolution will really take off when charging becomes hassle free and that is why we roll out our network across Europe: to offer freedom to electric drivers. Every day we get closer to our goal of one thousand stations by 2030, where we sell energy from renewable sources like sun and wind, actively helping to curb the climate crisis."
The investment round was led by Boka Group Holdings to support product development and international growth.
"I’m delighted that we’ve secured funding to drive the continued development of our product and delivery of our mission. To have attracted investment now is a strong testament to the urgent need and overwhelming demand for our ground-breaking information intelligence tools to augment decision-making. I’m immensely proud of the company-wide sense of purpose that’s inspiring powerful AI innovation to strengthen our national security and increase the resilience of our commercial customers in today’s complicated threat-landscape."
