Record figures at EnergyVision charging stations: first month above 1,000 kWh per charging point
GHENT – Despite all the doom stories about electric cars, public charging infrastructure continues to break records. At its public charging points in Brussels, EnergyVision achieved an average of more than 1,000 kWh per charging point per month for the first time in January, an all-time record. Moreover, a record share of those kWh came from EnergyVision’s own generation assets.
In December, EnergyVision already posted a record month with an average of 965.63 kWh per charging point, but January was even better: for the first time, we surpassed the symbolic and operational threshold of 1,000 kWh per charging point on average. In two years, the utilisation rate of EnergyVision’s public charging infrastructure in the Brussels-Capital Region (a total of 1,717 charging points) has more than doubled. A year-on-year comparison for the same month (January) makes the growth clear: from an average of 427 kWh per charging point in January 2024 to 885 kWh in January 2025, and now 1,003 kWh in January 2026.
At the same time, more kWh than ever are coming from EnergyVision’s own generation assets. In January 2025, 7% of the charged kWh came from our own production; last month this had already risen to 39%, and that in the darkest month of the year. This is thanks to the addition of wind capacity to EnergyVision’s energy mix.
“This milestone shows the network is maturing: demand continues to rise rapidly, and we are covering an increasingly large share of it with renewable energy from our own generation. Thanks to additional wind capacity, the share of our own energy also increases noticeably even in the darkest winter months,” says Maarten Michielssens, CEO of EnergyVision.
NMBS concession: rollout shifts up a gear
It’s not only in Brussels that our charging points are setting records. Growth is also clearly visible across the rest of the country (even the oldest chargers in the network are now reaching record levels). Not only is the number of kWh increasing, but so is the number of charging points in EnergyVision’s network. The ongoing NMBS tender has accelerated: EnergyVision has now mapped the charging-point potential of 423 locations. Works have also started at 52 other NMBS car parks. This quarter, EnergyVision expects to deliver charging points at more than 100 railway stations. By building precisely where mobility converges, EnergyVision aims to make the network not only larger, but also smarter and more efficient.
In the same vein, the concession with MOW (Flemish Government - Mobility and Public Works) is moving into its next phase. Following the contractual close-out, EnergyVision is shifting focus to execution, enabling the company to add capacity again over the coming year at public locations where demand is growing fastest.
Michielssens adds: “Despite all the doom stories about electric mobility, we continue to grow month after month. And thanks to our own power generation, our charging prices remain among the lowest in the market (both standard and ultra-fast charging between €0.28 and €0.36 per kWh), while we continue to deliver structurally healthy EBITDA figures.”
