FastNed may be a new name in the UK but it's one of the biggest rapid charging networks in Europe and is expanding out of its native Holland into other countries. You can spot them by their solar canopy, which provides a welcome cover from elements.
The company's 12th and latest hub in the UK is at Energy Superhub Oxford where you will find five 300kW charger units with 10 connections. Fastned is the first non-Tesla charging company to use what’s known as ‘Plug and Charge’ technology, where the charger recognises your car (once you’ve registered it with Fastned) and automatically charges your account. No flapping away with contactless cards, apps or RFID tags.
Join Ginny as she shows you how to use one of the latest 300kW charging units with Electrifying.com’s Audi Q4 e-tron. And if you want to see more charging guides, make sure to watch our other charging guide videos.

As a Dutchman i'm honoured Ginny loves our cheese, however it makes me a bit sad to see her with a Edam flavoured Babybel cheese, which is just as Dutch as a Renault, Peugeot or Citroën car. (Hint... all of these including the cheese are French)

You forgot to mention that you need to get a parking ticket to use any of the chargers at Oxford. Your first hour is free but you still need to get a ticket so the number plate recognition system does not send you a fine through the post.

@IanMcc1000 Год назад

That's totally fair. If you are shopping for the day, you can plug into a slow charger and pay for parking, whereas fast chargers who will leave within 30 mins or so don't pay a parking fee on top.

@genuine74boomer Год назад

I’ve been to the Oxford chargers twice (on both occasions staying around 35 mins) and didn’t get a ticket. I couldn’t see any cameras on entry - was I just lucky or do the cameras only look at the parking spaces (and not the rapids)?

@IanMcc1000 Год назад

@@genuine74boomer The poster above said the first hour was free. Please go back and test it for 61 mins!

Good review how is excess for disabled drivers?

@samuelbarford2249 Год назад

I’m confused. Why does using a Kia EV6 slow things down with a 45 minute max charge if they have a faster charging rate? Is it because you have 300kW shared? I’m not sure that was explained well. Is it just me?

@aaravshah2288 Год назад

You're not alone! I am also confused, when it should be able to charge much faster than the other cars.

@djspqr1427 Год назад

@@aaravshah2288 Bc the EV6 with it's charge rate capability will drop the distribution to fellow EV riders. Nevertheless, it's advisable if you have enough EV charge spots, not to charge your EV next to an other EV, but rather take the next charger.. ( 2 EV's charging via same EV station will lower the charge speed...)

@aaravshah2288 Год назад

@@djspqr1427 Oh, thanks. So the 300kW is shared between the two charge spots that are on the same charger.

@leexgx Год назад

@@aaravshah2288 (most cars can't do 300kw anyway 70-120kw on newer cars less on older cars) and if the car that's first plugged in is less then 25-30% charge the second charger will likely be suspended until the first car charges past 25-30% (roughly), it's how the ones near me function on motaways services

Plug and charge works on the enyaq if it has the v3.0 software. I expect the ID4 will be the same

@briangriffiths114 Год назад

Please can we have one of these charging stations half way between Perth and Inverness on the A9 complete with toilets as the current infrastructure is dire. I take it this will work with the Chargeplace Scotland RFID card.

Please explain why fast charging cars are a problem with the 45 min time limit?

@JohnLNixon Год назад

You mention that with FastNed Ultra Rapid Chargers it is possible to charge two cars simultaneously. With others such as Gridserve there seems to be no way to tell if a charger with two outlets can do this. Is there any way to tell in advance without plugging in beside another charging vehicle, only to be told that insufficient power is available?

@markward8738 Год назад

Yes you can charge 2 cars at once at Fastned

@gchecosse Год назад

The Hamilton one is tucked away behind a supermarket in some woods. Not ideal if you're charging at night and want to feel safe.

You can with GridServe plug and pay, then drive away.

@automatix5 Год назад

As you can see in the video there is a credit card terminal on the charger.

@martinsweltdertechnik1868 7 месяцев назад

Fastned uses a propriatary System for Plug and charge by scanning the cars mac-adress. The official (ISO) Plug and Charge is of course supported by VW/Audi/Skoda. The question here is why is Fastned not using the official Plug and charge.

Ya never get more than 85kw ish from the London orbital ones. Good chargers though. Beware the Oxford chargers need to have a parking permit over the hour, the car park machine’s behind the chargers at the bus station.

@krasimirdimov4778 11 месяцев назад

That’s likely because you haven’t been starting to charge from a lower percentage. The fuller the battery, the slower the charging speed.

This explanation is really more difficult than using Fastned 🤔

@electricvillage5314 Год назад

Vehicles can have the same ‘unique identifier’ with auto charge. It’s completely flawed. Try Plug and Charge, the true driverless authentication, being implemented by VW, Audi et al.

73P per Kw so more expensive to run than an ICE blimey

@athollmcnicoll1028 Год назад

Why bother with this new system which looks as if it will be problematic depending on what you drive - better still as Tesla has opened up its network to non-Tesla's just use them instead at a higher rate of .54p per kilowatt and I am blessed as I have a Tesla charging area 10 minutes from my home but still driving my ICE Fiesta

@Lewis_Standing Год назад

Cheapest tesla is 50 grand. Lots of good EVs for much less. Lots more rapid chargers than tesla rapid chargers. Competition good.

@maxflight777 Год назад

No thanks ! Multiple apps, different credit card accounts, QR codes? I’ll stick to Tesla. My model Y charges at 1600km/h and plans the route entirely on its own.

@foxylady1048 Год назад

This is like the oldest way to charge. Why not go the GridServe way and lower the price. PLUG IN, PAY, WALK AWAY, SIMPLE THE GRIDSERVE WAY.

@envance1974 Год назад

In my experience Gridserve chargers are offline about 75% of the time

"Powered entirely by renewable energy".. 🤣 Well, not by those few solar panels. I cannot find any statement from Fast Ned about the use of strict renewable sources or credits, and most probably the energy supplied follow the common local network metrics.
