How the Flemish bonus for the acquisition of an electric car might still have an impact on the wallets of Walloons and Brussels residents
But for Febiac, Renta and Traxio, all three united under the Mobia banner, things are not going fast enough to meet these objectives. Particularly in terms of infrastructure. Result: the transition to zero-emission vehicles remains disorganized, being essentially in the hands of companies which capitalize 9 out of ten so-called green vehicle registrations.
A study destroys Belgium in terms of the cost of recharging an electric car: we are the 2nd most expensive country in Europe!
Without an additional pedal on the accelerator, Belgium will be behind on its objectives, we can summarize by reading the Mobia Mobility Memorandum 2023which specifies, however, that “the European Union’s timetable is ambitious but achievable.”
In this document of around fifty pages, the three federations concerned issue their recommendations to the attention of the federal government and the Regions. Starting with the importance of developing a stable and efficient electricity network.
This is not a foregone conclusion: according to Mobia, the total electricity demand to power a fully electrified automobile fleet (i.e. 5.9 million vehicles) would be 37 terawatt hours per year. Or 44% of the total electricity consumption of Belgians over one year. “It will therefore be necessary to provide sufficient electricity at an affordable price for comfortable and flexible use of electric vehicles on a large scale, as well as for their production and the implementation of carbon-neutral transport solutions,” says Mobia. which invites the federal government to create financial and fiscal support for purchasing, leasing and renting also for individuals and no longer just for businesses.
It will also be necessary to accelerate the erection of charging infrastructure, which is currently insufficient in number. “Today there are 30,000 charging stations accessible to the public,” comments Mobia. We will need 200,000 by 2030.”
Five times fewer charging stations for electric cars in the south of the country than in Flanders: why Wallonia has two voltages
Do the math: we will therefore need 24,000 additional terminals each year. That is almost as much each year as has been done in 13 years!
Finally, the federation recalls the importance of energy neutrality. “We must not exclude any relevant solution to reduce C02 emissions and therefore pursue a policy which does not exclude technologies which can contribute to achieving the GHG reduction objectives by 2030.”
For Mobia, this also involves promoting sustainable and renewable fuels so that the current fleet also contributes to climate objectives.
