Fastned expands into Denmark with 3 new fast charging stations

A total of 24 400 kW chargers will be located in strategic areas along high-traffic national road network and on touristic routes.

Fastned has won a tender by the Danish road authorities Vejdirektoratet to build three fast charging stations in Denmark. This award marks the start of the company’s activities in the country and in Scandinavia. 

All three stations will be located on high-traffic roads, two will be opened by the end of 2023 and one in the summer of 2024. The addition of Denmark into the brand’s network will contribute to its target of 1,000 locations by 2030 in Europe.

Denmark has set itself the ambitious goal of a million electric vehicles on its roads by 2030, and the country saw the number of drivers going electric grow fivefold from 2020 to June 2023.

“We build stations where drivers can count on reliable charging and have the best charging experience. We are bringing this approach to Denmark, the seventh country in our network. Our team is working hard to expand our network to more European countries, to help more and more people make the switch to electric driving and hence accelerate the transition to fossil fuel-free mobility,” said Michiel Langezaal, CEO of Fastned.

The first Fastned stations in Denmark will be in strategic spots and offer a total of 24 chargers of 400 kW, the fastest in the industry. With 4 chargers, Helsingør will allow drivers to charge before they head to Sweden, on the Helsingør-Helsingborg ferry, an important European travel route in the Nordics. 

Grevinge station will also have 4 chargers, catering for drivers between Copenhagen and Aarhus. The third and biggest location, Langeskov Syd, will have a total of 16 chargers, and will be part of a major charging hub along the E20.
