Why participate?
BEVS 2026 brings together key figures from the Belgian EV ecosystem to explore the future of sustainable mobility.
Discover what is already possible today and what will shape tomorrow.
The Challenge
At BEVS2026, we confront perception with data.
Belgium’s fleets are leading Europe’s electrification, but myths persist.
Together with EV Belgium, we bring facts, figures, and real-world evidence
— because clarity, not compromise, drives progress.
What to expect
1. The meeting place for professionals, fleet managers and decision-makers
2. Inspiring sessions and practical insights into electric mobility
3. A look at the latest technologies and solutions
What are the key themes?
Price and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
“EVs are too expensive.”
Half of fleet managers (≈ 50.7%) still perceive EVs as costly — but this perception ignores the real TCO picture. They also confirm EVs are part of a holistic cost strategy, not an extra cost.
Clarity on fiscal stability is key — companies invest when the rules stay consistent.
Range: facts versus perception
“EVs don’t go far enough.”
Range anxiety is still the #1 barrier (81.3%) in corporate decision-making, though today’s ranges exceed daily needs. 55% of fleet managers still think autonomy is insufficient — yet most drivers report satisfaction once they switch.
Education and real-world experience beat anxiety — time for facts over feelings.
Charging points: +110,000 and growing
“There aren’t enough chargers.”
49.6% of companies report no major difficulty with public charging. Only 24% still cite a lack of chargers.
Infrastructure is scaling fast — the real challenge is interoperability and smart use.
Energy flexibility and smart charging
“Smart charging is complex and costly.”
One in 5 companies already use smart cables or energy-aware tools. The next phase is flexibility and cost optimisation.
Smart charging isn’t futuristic — it’s the key to lower bills and grid stability.
Fire safety: risk versus reality
“EVs catch fire more easily.”
Insurance and fleet data show fewer incidents per vehicle than for combustion cars. EV fires require adapted procedures.
Awareness and adapted safety guidelines, not fear, must shape the debate.
