Introduction

The transcript begins with a discussion about the number of electric vehicles in the country and how it compares to gasoline cars. It also explores the availability of charging stations for electric cars.

Number of Electric Vehicles

• As of August 1, 2023, there were 1387 electric vehicles in the country.

• This represents only 2.3% of the total number of cars in the country.

• Hybrid cars make up 8.9% of the total, while diesel cars account for 36.5% and gasoline cars for 51.8%.

Increase in Electric Vehicles

• The number of electric vehicles has nearly doubled in less than a year, from 7165 to 138000.

• However, this still represents a small percentage compared to other types of cars.

Ownership of Electric Vehicles

• Only 26,000 electric vehicles are owned by private individuals, while the majority (80%) are owned by companies.

• This indicates that most electric vehicles are company or fleet cars.

Incentives for Electric Vehicle Purchase

The government is encouraging individuals and businesses to purchase electric vehicles through incentives and subsidies.

Government Incentives

• This incentive aims to promote the purchase of zero-emission vehicles, with a focus on both new and used cars.

Comparison with Other Countries

The transcript discusses how Belgium compares to other countries in terms of electric vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure.

Global Comparison

• Belgium's adoption rate for electric vehicles (2.3%) is slightly above the global average of 2%.

• In the Netherlands, 4.4% of cars are electric, indicating higher adoption in that country.

Charging Infrastructure

• The number of accessible charging stations per 100,000 inhabitants is used as a measure for charging infrastructure.

• Currently, the European leader in this regard is the Netherlands with 834 accessible charging stations.
