Brussels aims to have 22,000 charging points for electric vehicles throughout the city by 2035. But with only 4,100 installations available, the target looks particularly ambitious. The contribution of private players is more than necessary to meet such a challenge.

Accelerating the installation of charging stations in Brussels
The production of green energy is a key concern for many countries. It's one of the surest ways to achieve energy independence and combat global warming. The Brussels authorities have adopted several measures to reduce the use of polluting energies. One of them is to speed up the installation of charging stations in Brussels.
The target set, is to increase the number of installations in the Brussels Region to 22,000 by 2035. This is an enormous challenge, given that there are currently only 4,100 charging stations for electric vehicles in the region. This means that an additional 17,900 installations will be needed, to be installed in just ten years.
Private-sector involvement recommended
To achieve this ambitious goal, the Brussels authorities are calling on the private sector to contribute. A call for projects to support the installation of hubs and charging stations in Brussels as quickly as possible has been launched. According to the authorities, many projects have already been selected. They include the installation of recharging points in public parking lots and in Brussels city center, super-fast chargers and recharging points for electric cabs.
To facilitate the deployment of 17,900 charging stationsby 2035, the authorities have entrusted the public utility managing the electricity and natural gas distribution networks with the coordination of the projects. From 2035 onwards, combustion-powered cars will be banned from the capital. That's why it's vital to increase the number of charging stations quickly.
About the installation of charging stations
A charging station is an element designed to replenish the battery of electric vehicles. Some facilities are intended for private use. They can therefore be seen close to where people live, or on company premises. Other installations are designed for public use. But in both cases, installation work must comply with specific standards. The quality of the devices to be installed is also defined by law.
Incentives are available to support private individuals and businesses who install charging stations in Brussels. But to qualify for these subsidies, the project must be carried out with the help of a certified installer specializing in the installation of electric vehicle charging stations.
The professional must start the work with a diagnosis of the electrical network. He must then assess his customer's needs. If you're a company, you'll need to choose the right charging station for your fleet of vehicles.
The advantages of installing a recharging point in Brussels
There are a number of advantages for companies that decide to install a charging station in Brussels. First and foremost, they'll be contributing to the humble cause of preserving the environment. They will also be able to respond to the authorities' call and contribute to the goal of installing 17,900 additional charging stations by 2035.
In addition to all this, this kind of project enables companies to save energy. By investing in electric vehicles, they can reduce their fuel costs.
