These charging points are located at destinations where people often stay for a longer period of time. This includes home, work, public parking lots and locations such as restaurants and hotels. The charging points usually deliver a power between 3.7 and 22 kilowatts (kW).

The number of kilometers you can drive on a full battery charge varies per vehicle and largely depends on your driving style. The latest vehicles released on the market generally have an actual range of 200 to 400 km. Fast acceleration and higher speeds consume more power than relaxed driving.

Charging is possible in many places. at home, at work or in public. Many charging stations are already available in Belgium and surrounding countries and due to increasing demand, more are being added every day. There are various apps available to find a public charging point, such as Chargemap.
