Charging network company, Fastned has signed a framework agreement with Transport for London to realise rapid charging stations in the Greater London Area.

Transport for London (TfL) is the integrated transport authority for London and has set a goal to realise 300 rapid charging points before 2020. In the coming three years TfL plans to issue locations throughout the British capital.

TfL ran an extensive public tender procedure to select parties to realise the charging infrastructure.

Fastned is a charging company that already has 61 stations operational in The Netherlands and has ambition to realise a pan-European rapid charging network.

The City of London has set ambitious targets to significantly reduce air pollution and vastly increase the number of electric vehicles on its roads, requiring rapid charging infrastructure.

To this end, TfL initiated a tender procedure in 2016 to select parties capable of being a concessionaire. For this TfL will issue long term land leases to concessionaires who will realise and operate the charging points. The first locations are expected to be allocated to concessionaires in the summer of 2017 after which realisation starts.
