Research agency Profacts, commissioned by Mediafin Intelligence, conducted an extensive study on the state of electric mobility in Belgium, covering both businesses and consumers. The findings were presented today during the seminar “Belgians and Electric Mobility – Driving into the Electric Era.”
Key Findings
- Companies drive electrification: company cars are seven times more likely to be electric than private vehicles (31% vs. 4%).
- Charging infrastructure remains a bottleneck, especially at home: private users mainly charge at home, while company cars are more often charged at work or at public stations.
- Governments and energy providers must pick up the pace: investment, standardisation, and a stable fiscal framework are urgently needed.
- Mobility budgets on the rise but still underused: interest is growing, though the potential remains largely untapped.
Bart Gunst, Head of Mediafin Intelligence:
“The EV transition is proving to be a marathon rather than a sprint. Yet with the ban on combustion engines by 2035, the switch to electric mobility is no longer optional. Reducing administrative hurdles and investing in smart charging infrastructure will be crucial to reaching that 2035 target.”
Carine Vaeremans, CEO of Profacts:
“Fleet electrification is clearly gaining momentum: more than half of all new company cars are now electric. A cautiously optimistic forecast suggests that half of all corporate fleets could be fully electric by the end of 2026. The mobility budget is not a barrier to this evolution — on the contrary, it can become a powerful lever for the EV transition.”
