Fastned for Android

Overview of the Fastned application

Fastned is a free Android app designed to help electric vehicle drivers locate high-speed charging points throughout Europe. It’s produced by Fastned, a company focused on building a widespread network of fast chargers that runs on renewable energy such as wind and solar power. The app aims to simplify finding, initiating and managing quick charging sessions while promoting cleaner energy use.

Key functions and features

• Check live charger status and availability so you can avoid waits and plan stops with confidence.
• Start a charging session instantly with a single tap from within the app.
• Use the plug-and-charge (autocharge) capability to begin charging automatically when you connect — no app or RFID card required.
• Get tailored charging guidance for different vehicle makes and models to optimize charge times and costs.
• Plan routes that include reliable high-power chargers along your journey for longer trips.
• Enroll in the Gold Member tier to access discounted charging rates and potential perks.

Plug-and-charge (autocharge) explained

Autocharge removes the need to authenticate manually. Once your vehicle is plugged into a compatible Fastned charger, the session will commence automatically, making stops faster and more convenient—especially useful during tight schedules or for drivers who prefer a frictionless experience.

Membership and pricing notes

Fastned offers a paid membership (Gold Member) that reduces the per-kWh or per-session cost compared with pay-as-you-go rates. The app lets you activate and manage this membership, so you can compare prices and decide whether the subscription makes sense based on your typical charging behavior.

Sustainability and network goals

Fastned is committed to powering its stations with renewable electricity sources like wind and solar. The company continues expanding its network of fast chargers across European highways and urban areas to support longer-distance EV travel with cleaner energy.

Quick tips for using the app

• Check charger availability before arriving to minimize idle time.
• If your car and the station support plug-and-charge, use autocharge for the quickest start.
• Compare membership savings against your expected charging frequency to determine value.
• Use route planning to include only high-power chargers for faster top-ups on long trips.
