Fastned's 4Q25 update shows faster station roll out but volume growth is still lagging BEV penetration.

Albeit aiming to accelerate its station expansion pace from 50 to 100-150 pa, it has not yet delivered on the desired construction pace, this while capex and operating expenses are exceeding earlier expectations, and its operational stations are also not keeping up with the market growth (session per station up 10% vs. BEV fleet +22%).
