Amsterdam-based Fastned is looking to gin up some extra startup cash to expand its fast-charging station network beyond its current count of 31 stations throughout Europe. The company is launching Fastned Founders Club, which is reserved for those who buy more than 2,500 shares of the company. At 10 euros a pop, that’s at least a $27,500 investment. The prize? Free charging for the rest of that shareholder’s life.
Fastned’s efforts received a boost last December when the European Union committed to funding Fastned fast-charging “corridors” throughout Germany. The EU said at the time that it would earmark about two million euros for Fastned as part of the EU’s Trans-European Transport Networks program. As of late last year, there were plans for 155 fast-charging stations for Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Holland. Fastned was slated to build 94 of those stations. Take a look at Fastned’s press release below.
