Fastned Charging Stations

Published on
April 18, 2023

Fastned is a public charging network which provides ultra-rapid chargers which can charge up to speeds of 300 kW. This is much faster than most charging stations in the country. They have a membership scheme called Gold which allows you to charge a cheaper rate after paying a membership fee of £9.99.

Fastned is a Dutch company that mainly operates in mainland Western Europe. Most of their charging spots are in the Netherlands, although they have stations in Germany, France, Belgium and Switzerland. They were founded in 2012 but, in 2019, started expanding into the UK market. They currently have a handful of charging stations in the country and plan to provide 100% renewable energy to the UK.

Where Does Fastned Cover?

Fastned operates mainly in Europe, mostly in the Netherlands, but they also serve part of the United Kingdom. As of October 2022, they operate mainly in the North East of England with several charging stations in Tyne and Wear. They also have 2 in Scotland and 3 in the south of England, located in London, Oxford and near Canterbury. They have several charging points at each location.

They are looking to expand into the UK but currently do not have service stations in Wales, Northern Ireland, the Midlands or the South West of England.

Chargings Speeds At Fastned Charging Points

Fastned has various chargers that charge from 38 kW to 300 kW. They provide AC power charging for the Type 2 Connector and DC charging for both CHAdeMO and CCS connectors. Not all of their destinations provide AC charging.

Below we have summed up the different charger speeds available at Fastned charging stations in the UK and have calculated how long it would take to charge three of the most popular EVs in the country from 10 - 80% charge. The three EVs we’re using in our calculations are the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model 3 Long Range and the Jaguar I-Pace.

Fastned Charger SpeedsConnector TypeTime to charge Tesla Model 3 Long Range to 80%
38 kWType 2 Connector4 hours, 45 minutes
43 kWType 2 Connector4 hours, 45 minutes
50 kWCHAdeMO and CCS1 hour, 3 minutes
150 kWCCS21 minutes
175 kWCCS18 minutes
300 kWCCS15 minutes

Fast Chargers (38 kW & 43 kW)

Not every Fastned charging station provides fast chargers, but several do. These chargers use the Type 2 Connector to charge with AC power. Their fast chargers can charge up to 38 or 43 kW. This speed is faster than most AC connectors limits.

They can charge a 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 to 80% in 4 hours and 15 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range in 4 hours and 45 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace in 5 hours and 45 minutes. Because they take a long time to charge your car, you should only use AC charging for top-ups or if you’re not in a rush.

50 kW Chargers

Their 50 kW chargers are fast chargers which use DC charging. They have separate chargers for CHAdeMO and CCS connectors at most of their charging points. This is a unique feature of Fastned stations as not all networks provide for CHAdeMo connectors as they aren’t the standard DC connector in Europe.

It would take 36 minutes to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80%, 1 hour and 3 minutes to charge the Tesla Model 3 Long Range and 1 hour and 15 minutes to charge the Jaguar I-Pace.

150 kW Chargers

Fastned’s 150 kW chargers are only available for the CCS connector. They are not usable for CHAdeMO connectors. They can charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf in 36 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range in 21 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace in 37 minutes.

175 kW Chargers

Their 175 kW chargers also only charge the CCS connector. They can charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80% charge in 36 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range in 18 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace in 37 minutes.

300 kW Charger

There aren’t many 300 kW chargers in the UK. This makes Fastned one of the few networks in the UK that provide ultra-rapid chargers at these speeds. You can only use their 300 kW chargers with CCS connectors.

They can charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80% in 36 minutes, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range in 15 minutes and the Jaguar I-Pace in 37 minutes.

How Much Does It Cost To Charge At Fastned Charging Stations?

Fastned has a Gold Membership scheme and also allows guests to charge. They charge guests 73p per kWh. To access their charge points, you must download their app first.

If you’re located in the North East or near one of their charging stations, it might make sense to purchase Gold Membership which costs £9.99 a month; with this, you get 30% off their standard tariff. This amounts to 51p per kWh. This means that if they raise their guest prices, their gold members’ prices also rise.

Fastned is a good charging station which offers competitive prices and high-speed chargers. Their network is one of the best in the UK if you are looking for fast charging in the areas where they have charging points.

However, their network is still fairly small and underdeveloped. As such, it might not be worth paying for their Gold Membership unless you frequent one of their charging points. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t access their charging points at a discount.
