Fastned & EVBox join forces to install 400kW EV fast chargers in Europe

Roland van der Put (Head of Charging Technology at Fastned), Yannick Schuermans (Director Operations & Analytics at Fastned) and Maurice van Riek (Chief Technology Officer at EVBox), were present at the ceremony.

The 400kW charging station is now being piloted and available first-hand for all Fastned customers on its station in De Watering, The Netherlands, along the A8 near Oostzaan. With this configuration, EVBox Troniq Modular High-Power is one of the first 400kW charging stations coming to the European market, and has been developed to best serve public areas with heavy traffic.

The high power charging station can deliver 100km of range in just three minutes, if supported by the vehicle; alternatively, the charging power can also be dynamically shared by two vehicles, allocating for instance, 200kW of energy to each vehicle.

Fastned and EVBox signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a non-exclusive partnership to further improve the product in terms of quality, user experience, serviceability, uptime, and data-driven charger monitoring. The initiative is part of EVBox’s Early Adopter Program with selected key partners, a co-creation program designed to improve the full product journey from installation to end use.

This iterative program allows for ongoing product and process improvements based on the feedback received by partners and users, before its full commercialization. 

Fastned, with 10 years of experience in fast charging across six countries in Europe and with ambitious expansion plans, will contribute with its in-depth knowledge and experience in fast charging. EVBox has 13 years of experience with electric vehicle charging solutions and production of state-of-the-art EV chargers. Additionally, both parties will collect real-life customer feedback for improvement points of the piloted charging station.

Fastned will continue working with different leading charging station manufacturers to provide its customers with the best possible charging experience that matches Fastned's leading customer friendliness and reliability standards.
