Market potential for Mobile EV Charging and Charging Passes in Belgium (2025-2030)
Belgium faces rapid growth in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, with the number of EVs expected to increase from a quarter of a million today to between 1.5 and 2 million by 2030 (EV Belgium). This growth presents a significant investment opportunity in EV charging infrastructure, particularly mobile charging solutions that address the needs of urban consumers.
Growing Demand for Public and Mobile Charging
Currently, 25% of new car sales in Belgium are fully electric, and this percentage is expected to rise sharply. As EV adoption increases, demand for charging infrastructure will exceed capacity, especially in urban areas where access to private parking spaces and home chargers is limited. (McKinsey)
By 2030, energy demand for EVs is expected to increase from 0.9 billion kWh in 2024 to 4.5 billion kWh, with 36% to 59% of this demand to be met by public charging solutions. Mobile charging services can bridge this gap by providing flexible, demand-based charging options where they are needed most. (Deloitte)
Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Convenience
Research shows that consumers are willing to pay up to 124% more for ultra fast charging compared to slower public options, highlighting the demand for convenient and accessible charging solutions. A charging card that provides access to both fixed and mobile charging options can enhance the user experience by providing flexibility and convenience that are attractive to EV drivers. (BCG)
Urban Charging Challenges and Strategic Investment Opportunity
Urban areas face specific challenges in scaling up EV charging infrastructure due to spatial constraints and urban planning priorities. Mobile charging offers a flexible alternative that reduces the need for permanent public charging facilities, aligning with city goals while meeting consumer demand.
Investing in mobile charging and charging passes responds to these challenges, positioning investors at the forefront of a growing market.
