Fastned and EVBox combine to launch 400 kW chargers

Fastned and EVBox have completed the installation of the first 400 kW all-in-one chargers for electric vehicles in Europe.

The 400 kW charger is being piloted for all Fastned customers at its station in De Watering, The Netherlands, along the A8 near Oostzaan. This is one the first 400 kW standalone high-power charger available in the European market and has been developed to best serve public fast charging stations in areas with heavy traffic.

The high power charger can charge 100 km 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 200 kW of power to each car.

“We are excited to partner with Fastned in jointly installing one of the first 400kW chargers in Europe as part of our Early Adopter Program. The 400 kW variant is the next evolution stage of our flexible and scalable Troniq Modular fast-charging stations family. Together, we are leading the way to making high-power charging available, and electric mobility even more accessible,” said Maurice van Riek, Chief Technology Officer at EVBox.

“We’re looking forward to the partnership with EVBox and the piloting of this new charger, which we expect will become best-in-class” said Roland van der Put, Head of Charging Technology at Fastned. “During the course of this pilot, EVBox and Fastned will work closely together in optimising the user experience and the communication between the charger and Fastned’s backend system. We are committed to continuously improving charger speed and reliability, in order to provide our customers with the best customer experience and give freedom to electric drivers.”

Fastned, with over ten 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 chargers. Additionally, both parties will collect real life customer feedback for improvement points of the piloted charger. Fastned will continue working with different leading charger manufacturers to provide its customers with the best possible charging experience that matches Fastned’s leading customer friendliness and reliability standards.
