Fastned opens a new charging station in France equipped with unique technology — you’ll love it!
Fastned has just opened a new fast charging station in Yutz, Moselle, located near the A31 and major routes leading to Luxembourg. In addition to its 400 kW chargers, which are now fairly common, the site introduces a novelty for the operator in France: a self-service kiosk with restrooms, drinks, and dining options.
Fastned continues to expand its infrastructure in France. The Dutch-based operator recently opened another station in Yutz, Moselle, as part of the Espace Meilbourg complex. This location was chosen deliberately because it is situated right next to the A31, a heavily used route between France and Luxembourg.
Charging at up to 400 kW
This new station is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fastned announces eight charging points capable of delivering up to 400 kW of power. Payment can be made directly through a bank terminal, via the operator’s app, or with a universal charging card. So far, nothing exceptional.

The site is designed to meet the needs of many cross-border workers who travel daily from France to Luxembourg, as well as for trips to Belgium or Germany.
A kiosk for waiting while charging
But the real innovation can be found next to the charging stations. Fastned is opening its first kiosk in France in Yutz. Covering 30 m², it offers restrooms, hot drinks, and a self-service dining option. The goal is to allow drivers to take a proper break without leaving the station while charging.
This is an issue gaining importance as fast charging develops. Simply installing powerful charging stations is no longer enough; their location and the services available nearby also become crucial factors.
Fastned still aims for 1,000 stations in Europe
With this expansion, Fastned now has over 60 stations in France and operates more than 440 across Europe. The company also reaffirms its goal of reaching 1,000 stations in Europe, focusing on highways, major routes, urban areas, and cross-border corridors.
