In the Brussels streets and alleyways: our public charging stations
Our charging station business started off small, counting just a few charging stations in our own Ghent and Brussels car parks. Today, we have more than 2,000 charging stations around Brussels and Flanders, with the number of charges also greatly on the rise. While you can find all these figures in the mobility report, here is an overview of our projects.
In March 2023, we received some great news from Sibelga. Once again, we had been granted the opportunity to provide the 19 municipalities within the Brussels Capital Region with public charging infrastructure. Following the installation of 500 charging stations in 2022, 2023 saw us win a tender to install at least 1,400 more!
The installation started in summer, with the first charging stations already being used by September. Four months later, all charging stations are installed. With a strong average of 60 charging stations per week (including installation, road marking, road signage and crash protection), this project was a real challenge in terms of planning and organisation. We can definitely say that this was a success! Today, people in Brussels have access to nearly 2,000 of our charging stations, all at very low rates.
Whether slow or fast charging, we provide the lowest rates
Having an electric car is all well and good, but where can I charge it? And above all, for how much? The answer is simple. EnergyVision: the lowest prices guaranteed!
Those who have just bought an electric vehicle will be familiar with this problem. Where can I find a charging station? And when you have finally found one, the next issue arises: how much is this going to cost? There are many different pricing structures and massive price differences between neighbouring charging stations (or even the same charging stations, between different charge cards).
Transparency and integrity are part of EnergyVision’s core values, and therefore our focal point, including in our communication to customers.
It is our missions to make today's up-and-coming charging station sector more democratic and transparent. By doing so, we can make the mobility transition as accessible as possible for people and businesses, thereby creating a real safe haven for our customers. By choosing us, they can rely on having the lowest prices on the market.
Powered by EnergyVision
That is why we have introduced our lowest price guarantee for our ‘Powered by EnergyVision’ charging stations. For all charging stations that we directly supply with our own energy (some customers rely on their own electricity supply), we offer a dual price guarantee for those who charge using EnergyVision charge cards.
Our first price guarantee: we scan the market every day to ensure that the rate you pay with your EnergyVision charge card falls under the cheapest 2% on the market. If you find a cheaper price, we pay the difference back! Our second price guarantee: we charge the same price for using our AC charging stations as our super fast DC chargers. That's right! We also offer the lowest price guarantee on our superchargers. This makes us 40-70% cheaper than other supercharger providers!
Why are we doing this?
First of all, because we WANT to. We are doing our bit to help democratise charging prices.
But also, because we CAN. As an integrated energy provider, we power all of our ‘Powered by EnergyVision’ charging stations with our own green energy, generated via our solar parks and delivered directly to our charging stations. We are therefore not dependent on any other energy providers, nor on volatile market prices. Our power is distributed by us. That way, all of our charging stations are supplied with local green energy. On top of that, that means it is also the cheapest (self-generated) energy available.
Together, we are on our way to building a better world!
