Purchase incentive for private buyers: Belgium has no federal purchase incentive for a new electric car, and the regional premiums for private buyers have largely been phased out or ended. In Flanders, the former zero-emissiepremie (zero-emission premium) for private buyers has been discontinued. In Brussels and Wallonia, at most limited or specific schemes exist, often only for companies, the self-employed, or when scrapping an old car. Not every buyer qualifies — so we show this separately and do not count it in the total costs above. Source: Flanders / Brussels / Wallonia, as of .

When does electric pay off?

Electric becomes worth it once you drive more than 27,000 km/year or keep the car longer than 7 years — from there, the lower running costs finally catch up with the higher purchase price.
