Fastned reports record station openings and raises margin guidance
Fastned, an electric vehicle fast-charging operator, reported record growth for the first half of 2026. The company opened 28 new stations during this period, bringing its total network to 434 stations across nine countries.
Financial performance showed significant improvement, with charging revenue increasing 40 percent to over 75 million euros. Operational EBITDA more than doubled to 37.4 million euros. While the company still reported a net loss of 13 million euros, this represents a decrease from the 18.3 million euro loss recorded during the same period last year.
Following these results, Fastned raised its full-year 2026 operational EBITDA margin forecast to approximately 45 percent, up from a previous guidance range of 35 to 40 percent. CEO Michiel Langezaal noted that revenue continues to grow while cost growth is leveling off. The company expects to reach between 70 and 100 new operational stations by year-end.
