Amsterdam-based fast-charging company Fastned announced the launch of its new Android Auto–pp. The app allows electric vehicle drivers to find the nearest Fastned station easily and safely while driving.

Drivers can also view real-time charger availability, check current kWh pricing, and get directions through Google Maps and Waze with the app. The Android Auto-app launch follows the introduction of Fastned’s Apple CarPlay app earlier this year.

Founded in 2012 by Michiel Langezaal and Bart Lubbers, Fastned currently operates over 150 stations in high-traffic areas such as motorways and city centres. Offering charging speeds up to 350 kW, the company enables EVs to achieve a range of up to 300 kilometres in just 15 minutes.

Fastned owns and maintains an extensive network of electric vehicle charging stations in the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France and Belgium, with a significant presence at rest stops along Dutch highways.

In September Fastned won a tender to build fast charging stations in 92 locations in western and southwestern Germany. It will triple the company’s network of stations in the country.
