Fast charging company Fastned has recorded a positive operating result for the first time in 2023. This is due to the increase in the number of electric cars. The Amsterdam company, with 297 charging stations in Europe, supplied twice as much power to plug-in cars as in 2022.

Fastned supplies more and more power to a larger number of electric cars. According to the company, it delivered twice as much electricity in 2023 as a year earlier. The number of chargers grew by 39 percent, partly because Fastned opened 55 additional charging stations.

The rapid growth in charging sessions resulted in a turnover of 60.5 million euros in 2023. A year earlier that was still 35.9 million euros.

After deducting costs, Fastned achieved a positive operating result for the first time in its twelve years of existence: 4.6 million euros. Costs for interest, depreciation and taxes still have to be deducted from this.

If you include those costs, Fastned recorded a net loss of 19.3 million euros. That is less than a year earlier. The fact that Fastned has not yet made a profit is because the company has mainly focused on expanding the number of fast charging stations in Europe for all these years.

Fastned wants to expand further in the coming years. The company is currently taking major steps in Spain and Germany with the opening of new charging stations. Fastned still has rights to operate a new charging station at 432 locations.
