fastedone of the main specialists in fast charging for electric vehicles, has just officially opened its Vémars Est station on Monday, February 20, 2023, in the presence of the Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, as well as representatives of the group. .

In his speech, Clément Beaune reminded of the good positioning of France in the field of carbon-free mobility: it really is “On the European podium” in terms of the number of charging stations as well as auxiliary devices. The government has ambitious targets in this regard, as it wants to see at least one million charging stations installed on public roads in the coming years, including 400,000 by the end of the decade. On French highways, almost all service areas are now equipped with charging stationswith a large portion of ultra-fast charging points.

Fastned: super fast charging station

This new super-fast Fastned charging station, located on the streetVémars East district, is a part of It is implanted onA1 freewayin the direction of Paris-Lille, and has no less 16 charging points an electric superhighway that is just as fast as its counterpart is located opposite in the Vémars Ouest leisure area towards Paris.

This is the Vémars Est charging station the largest built by Fastned to date. This is part of the tender announced by the Sanef motorway network in 2022, which meets the government’s target of 100,000 electric charging stations in the area: “At the beginning of 2022, we committed to deploy almost 600 ultra-fast electric charging stations in all our service areas within one year”– says Arnaud Kemar, managing director of Groupe Sanef.

At the Fastned station in Vémars Est, electric car owners will be able to find 16 super-fast charging points with capacity up to 300 kW. depending on the car model, it is possible to restore 300 km of autonomy in 20 minutes, which makes it easier to travel on highways in an electric car.

Ongoing: more than 1,000 stations in Europe by 2030

The terminals are equipped with payment terminals that allow pay by credit cardbut also Self-charging function, which recognizes the connected vehicle and allows charging to start automatically without the need for identification. Three types of connectors are available to adapt to the needs of all electric vehicles: Combined CCS, type 2 and CHAdeMO.

A few days ago, Fastned exceeded the bar 250 stations operates in Europe: in the last year, the number of Fastned stations has increased from 9 to 23 in France, mainly located on the motorway networks and in suburban areas of France. Fastned will maintain its pace of deployment in France, thus participating in the transition to more sustainable mobility.

The company of Dutch origin with ten years of experience in 6 European countries plans to open at least 400 fast charging stations in Europe by the end of 2024. more than 1000 stations by 2030 : “Thanks to the combined efforts and determination of state authorities, highway networks and participants in the energy transition and sustainable mobility, the development of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles to cover the territory remains our priority”– recalled Pierre Courjon, director of Fastned France.
