Get a quoteThis capability makes these stations particularly valuable for EV drivers who need to charge quickly on the go. One challenge Belgium faces is the relatively low utilisation rate of its DC fast chargers, which typically see only 7-8% use. On average, this means fewer than two charging sessions per day per station.
As of today, 2.18 TW of EV Charging power are publicly available in Belgium. The graph below shows that fast charging delivering power of 100 kW or more has emerged in the last 12 months. As of 2024, there are 3,162 fast chargers in the country, an impressive 118,97% growth in a short 12-month period.
Under this groundbreaking initiative, Kempower will deliver its charging solutions to the first fast-charging stations of Storm and Q8 in Belgium. The new fast-charging stations, integrated with shops and restaurants, will redefine convenience and accessibility for EV users. The roll-out will take place starting from the summer of 2024.
As seen on the graph, fast charging accounts for 30% of the total power available in publicly available charging in Belgium as of 2024, its share increasing every year but with a notable growth in 2023. The market has evolved rapidly towards fragmentation, as observed in France. About 60 CPOs are now offering fast charging in Belgium.
Another standout is Electra, a company that entered the Belgian market in 2023 and quickly became a major player by offering a large number of charging points with high power capacity. While the availability of ultra-fast charging stations is crucial, the actual charging speed depends largely on the vehicle’s ability to handle high power levels.
The cost of recharging varies from €5 to €12 at home, from €15 to €35 at a public charging point and from €25 to €50 on the motorway for a full charge. What are the different types of recharging point available in Belgium? There are standard terminals (11 to 22 kW), fast terminals (50 kW) and ultra-fast terminals (150 to 350 kW).
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
