About the Game

Fast Charging Tycoon is a business simulation about building the charging network that keeps a region's electric cars moving. You start a small charge point operator with a little money, a big map, and a market that's about to take off. Your goal is to grow it into a household name one charging stop at a time. It's deep enough to reward careful planning, but easygoing enough to play however you like.

You decide where to build, what to charge drivers, and how to keep your stations running smoothly. Hire the right leaders, fund your growth, and go head-to-head with rival companies chasing the same customers. Make smart calls and your network spreads across the map. Make sloppy ones and the competition leaves you behind. Build a charging empire and become the leader of an industry.

Key Features

  • Build across five regions and 100 cities. Place charging stations on a nationwide map of 100 real-world metros. Pick great locations, choose your chargers, solar, batteries, and amenities, and shape each stop to fit the drivers who'll actually use it.

  • Three ways to acquire a site. Rent a spot from a host, bid for a public contract, or buy the land outright. Each path has its own costs, risks, and rewards.

  • Win the Driver Experience score. Every station earns a Driver Experience grade (A–F) for how reliable, fast, affordable, and welcoming it is. Happy drivers come back and bring friends; frustrated ones go somewhere else. Different locations want different things, so there's no single "perfect" build.

  • Run a real business. Watch the money come in and go out each month, keep your stations maintained, and actually turn a profit instead of just watching a number climb.

  • Go greener, spend less. Add solar panels and batteries to cut your power bills and get more out of every site.

  • Outsmart real rivals. Compete against up to ten rival companies that build, price, and scheme just like you — each with its own personality, history, and game plan.

  • Make deals or make enemies. Strike partnerships with other companies, or buy them out entirely. Watch your back, though — they'll happily do the same to you.

  • Build a leadership team. Hire a CEO, COO, and CFO who each bring real strengths to your company, and keep them happy before a richer rival lures them away.

  • Fund your growth. Take on bank loans and chase government grants and incentives. Each one helps you grow, and each one comes with strings attached.

  • Level up and unlock. Earn experience, grow your company, and unlock better gear and smarter upgrades across a branching upgrade tree.

  • Help write the rules. Each year the industry gathers to set new standards — and the most respected company gets to run the room.

  • Handle the unexpected. React to power shortages, equipment breakdowns, vandalism, and surprise events that test how well you really run your network.

Four Ways to Win

There's no single road to the top. Claim victory by becoming the:

  • Market Leader — control the most charging across the country's biggest cities.

  • Driver Favorite — become the most-loved network that drivers swear by.

  • Industry Leader — earn the respect and influence to lead the whole industry.

  • Innovator — complete a series of ambitious, first-of-their-kind projects.

Three Ways to Play

Pick your challenge. Ease in with a relaxed start — a handful of rivals and plenty of cash to work with — or go for a cut-throat race against up to ten aggressive competitors on a tighter budget. Whichever you choose, every path to victory stays within reach.

Plus

  • 40 achievements to chase, from quick early wins to long-haul, end-game challenges.

  • Light modding — rename the rival companies, brands, and people in your game.

  • Plays fully offline — no internet connection needed.
