Fastned has been selected by the West Flemish Intercommunale (WVI) in Belgium to realise five large fast-charging stations on its business parks, mostly located along main roads in West Flanders.

Plans for Europe’s most powerful electric vehicle recharging hub, due to open in the fourth quarter of this year, offer a blueprint for the future of zero emission motoring. Energy Superhub Oxford, in the UK, will launch with 38 fast and ultra-rapid chargers, supported by a 10MW power line connected directly to the high voltage grid and a 50MW hybrid storage battery.

In a recent development, Fastned announced that it has teamed up with Oxford City Council, Pivot Power, Tesla, and Wenea to build and operate one of its largest fast-charging stations at the upcoming Energy Superhub Oxford (ESO).

Fastned was enormously proud it kept growing during the Covid-19 lockdown. It also mentioned that the Q1 results were probably 60% lower than they would have been without the pandemic. This is calculated based on kWh charged per BEV on the road in the Netherlands.

Fastned, the Dutch fast-charging network that is already present in several European countries, reports positive results for 2020 year, despite the COVID-19 impact on travel and the demand for charging.
