Goals / Remit
Fastned is on a mission to accelerate the transition to electric mobility. By offering Europe’s most reliable, convenient and positive EV-charging experience across Europe’s highways and main roads, we aim to inspire millions to drive on solar and wind energy so that together we can curb climate change.
We already operate close to 300 EV-Fastcharging stations across Europe. and operate currently in nine countries. Our goal is a European network of 1000 fast charging stations at prime locations where all electric cars can charge, using only solar and wind power. Only during the third quarter, of 2023 one million charging sessions took place across the Fastned network, enabling more than 128 million electric kilometers and avoiding an estimated 24.7 thousand tonnes of CO2. This positive impact will keep growing as Fastned builds more and bigger stations and expands its network across the continent.Main EU files targeted
Strong policies are needed to create open and transparent markets that will foster the high-quality, fast-charging infrastructure required to support the transition to sustainable transport. Fastned would like to contribute to policy dialogue by sharing its experience with developing and operating hundreds of fast-charging locations in six countries. In particular, we are interested in supporting policies that open markets to competition, allowing new participants to offer solutions for the future. We are concerned that in many countries, scarce resources are allocated to incumbents without open and transparent tendering processes for fast charging. This often creates conflicts of interest and keeps out would be market participants. This has serious negative consequences for electric vehicle drivers and for the transition to a low-carbon future.
The Implementation of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, along with DG Competition's call for contributions on the role of competition rules to enable sustainability policies are of particular interest to us. We are also interested in the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive, proposals on access to in vehicle data, energy market design and greening corporate fleets. Issues related to the electricity grid and grid congestion is a major focus for Fastned.Address

Meetings
Meetings
5 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
