The city of Brussels hopes to install up to 11,000 charging stations by 2035 while waiting for the transition to electric vehicles.
Earlier this month, the European Commission set a goal of banning the sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2035, but a key challenge for a successful transition is the installation of charging stations.
Germany, France and the Netherlands are currently the most well-equipped member states in this infrastructure, but the Belgian capital is now strengthening its reputation as a major city in the field, including Alan Maron, Minister of Climate Change, Environment and Energy. I want to In Brussels. I told Euronews.
“We have a multi-year strategy to implement up to 11,000 charging stations by 2035,” Maron explains. “We are making steady progress. We simplify management and divide the city into four large areas. These areas are used as a market for private entrepreneurs who are motivated, want to hire and need to install these charging stations. ”
But to achieve this, the range of electric vehicles must make great strides commercially and industrially.

According to the committee, cars with internal combustion engines are 20-30% cheaper than comparable 100% electric models, so they are cheaper to buy.
However, as Monitor Automobile journalist Olivier Duquesne explains, consumers can make decisions taking into account other factors such as taxes and maintenance costs. Another advantage of electric motors is the tax system. “Almost all European countries have the tax advantage of being almost tax-free, if not taxable, or buy bonuses that are also available in certain European countries,” Duquene told Euronews. ..
And the final advantage, at least as far as the motor is concerned, is that electric motors are much simpler, have far fewer parts, and have very little friction. It is powered by a magnetic field, reducing the risk of interruption. It requires much less maintenance and has a longer life. The maintenance fee is … Electric vehicles have great advantages. “”
The Netherlands and Denmark are taking it one step further, aiming to ban internal combustion engines by 2030, and hope to encourage other countries to do the same.
