In the last weeks of July, volumes were more than 70% of February levels. Operational EBITDA and Operational EBITDA per station grew by 286% and 182% respectively.

Another two new stations were opened in July, bringing the total number of operational stations in the Fastned network to 118.
During the first half of the year a total of 17 fast chargers were installed as part of a station upgrade programme.
