Fastned has launched another bond offering for retail investors in Belgium and the Netherlands as the electric vehicle charging company seeks additional capital to support expansion of its European fast-charging network.
The company did not disclose a specific fundraising target for the latest bond issue, although previous offerings have allowed Fastned to raise tens of millions of euros.
Fastned raised 32.4 million euros through a bond round in March. Across 2025, the company secured more than 110 million euros through three separate bond issuances, following approximately 82 million euros raised in 2024.
The bonds are primarily targeted at retail investors and allow participation from as little as 1,000 euros.
Unlike shares, the bonds do not represent equity ownership in the company but function as loans to Fastned. The company is offering investors a fixed annual interest rate of 6%, with repayment scheduled after five years.
Fastned has increasingly relied on community-based financing as it expands its charging infrastructure footprint across Europe.
The company said the funds would support continued deployment of charging parks in multiple European markets.
According to an investor presentation released earlier this year, Fastned spent an average of 892,000 euros per new charging site, including costs related to charging equipment, transformer stations, grid connections and the company’s signature yellow canopies.
Despite continued network growth and stronger operational performance last year, Fastned reported a net loss of 30.2 million euros due to ongoing investment costs.
The company currently operates 418 charging locations across nine European countries.
Germany remains one of Fastned’s key expansion markets.
In December, the company opened its 50th German charging park in Werl-Büderich in North Rhine-Westphalia as part of the country’s Deutschlandnetz charging infrastructure programme.
The site includes 12 fast-charging points.
Fastned has stated that it aims to operate 75 charging locations in Germany by the end of 2026.
The latest fundraising effort reflects continued investment activity among European charging infrastructure operators as companies compete to expand high-power charging networks ahead of further growth in electric vehicle adoption.
