Press Release - Belgium risks missing out on 27 million euros in investment in charging points and renewable energy

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 11:52:40 +0100

The electric mobility sector warns that Belgium’s failure to transpose the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED III Transport) threatens to slow down further electrification. The deadline for this had already passed on 21 May 2025. The sector is therefore calling on the government to urgently press ahead with its implementation. A year and a half later, Belgium – and, by extension, the sector – still has no prospect of a legislative framework. This situation could have significant financial consequences should Europe initiate infringement proceedings. Meanwhile, the market value of e-credits (also known as HEE-F credits), which charging operators receive for supplying renewable electricity, has fallen sharply, and in the absence of the transposition of RED III Transport, it is continuing to decline. This is a direct blow to investment certainty for charging point operators and the charging price for end users, resulting in a flight of projects abroad. According to calculations by EV Belgium, charging point operators have already missed out on more than €4 million in investment capital in 2026 due to the government’s failure to reach a decision. By the end of 2027, this figure will rise to more than €27 million – funds that cannot therefore be reinvested in the further expansion of the charging network.

Press release - A historic milestone of 50% EV sales, continuity is now crucial

Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:44:23 +0200

According to FEBIAC, for the first time, more than one in two newly registered passenger cars in Belgium were fully electric. EV Belgium describes September’s figure of 50.9% as a historic turning point, but not an end point. The figures show that a consistent policy, a growing range of vehicles and years of investment in charging infrastructure are yielding results. The sector federation’s message is therefore clear: maintain continuity and focus future policy efforts on making electric driving accessible to more families and businesses – for families through private leasing, a stronger second-hand market and social leasing, and for businesses through the electrification of vans and lorries, an area in which Belgium lags behind its neighbouring countries.

Press release - From 2030, Belgian drivers will save more than €1.8 billion a year thanks to electrification

Prices at the pump are high once again: on 10 September, the official maximum price stood at €2.356 per litre of B7 diesel and €2.058 per litre of 95 E10 petrol (FPS Economy). For EV Belgium, this trend confirms that the transition to electric mobility is no longer merely a climate issue, but also, increasingly, a matter of purchasing power, energy policy and geopolitical independence. During the presentation of its new 2030 Charter, the sector federation stated that a fleet of two million electric vehicles by 2030 is thus becoming increasingly realistic, and represents an achievable vision for the future if the right political choices are made today.

Press release - EV Belgium calls on the federal government to introduce a social lease scheme

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:41:05 +0200

EV Belgium is calling on the federal government to work towards establishing a Belgian social leasing scheme for electric cars, both new and second-hand. Following the electrification of the company cars, all private users – including those with low incomes – must now also be able to opt for cheaper and more sustainable mobility. According to the federation, families can easily save more than 700 euros a year by making the switch. For EV Belgium, electric driving is not only the most economical, geopolitically responsible and ecological, but also the most socially responsible choice — in contrast to a reduction in excise duties on petrol and diesel.
