Charging Stations for Cities and Municipalities

As a municipality, you find it important to offer charging stations that also fit into the streetscape. This is particularly a concern in historical city centers. This way, you can provide sufficient facilities for electric cars in your municipality or city without detracting from the historical character of your city.

Charging Station Installation for Cities and Municipalities

On every public terrain, there are requirements and conditions that electric charging points must meet. This includes accessibility, safety, and user-friendliness.

Tumso Laadpaal Techniekers has included an underground charging point in its range. This allows electric cars to be charged out of sight. On the sidewalk or street, the visitor notices nothing. Moreover, as an administration, you motivate both visitors and residents to switch to electric driving.

The Character of the City Center Remains Intact

Historical cityscapes are often protected. Obstacles are then not allowed. This applies to almost every Grote Markt in our country. Other examples of public terrain are street parking spaces or public parking lots at the shopping center, a hotel, restaurant, or hospital.

Finally, we also think of taxi stands, boats on canals, and temporary events such as fairs and markets. It is also important to offer charging stations there. Charging points can also be very important for supplying local hospitality.

Charging Points in Belgium

Belgium needs a network of charging points that can cover the entire country. Work is being done on it, but the desired number has not yet been reached. In urban areas, coverage is the best. Those who travel a lot outside the cities often still have to adjust their route. This is not necessary if you place a charging point on your property or ask the municipality to place one elsewhere. Regulations can vary from municipality to municipality.

Requesting a Public Charging Station

Public charging stations can be requested from the municipality where you reside. This can usually be done via the municipal website. In this way, municipalities, in collaboration with citizens, can increase coverage of charging stations and respond to existing needs. Public charging points are needed because not everyone can install a charging station on private property. This is the case for homes without a garage or driveway.

Charging Station Follows Car

This expression means that charging points are installed at the request of electric car owners. The installation takes place near where the car owner lives. This is called the reactive rollout strategy. This also immediately guarantees that a charging point has users. You can also fill out a request form on our website. We will immediately send the document to your municipality.

Costs for Charging at a Public Charging Station

Until recently, there was no clear guideline in Flanders regarding charging installations, all associated infrastructure, and payment modalities. The ‘Code for publicly accessible charging’ (see www.milieuvriendelijkevoertuigen.be/laden) covers these topics, but also themes such as the speed and accessibility of the charging points.

One of the requirements included in this code is that it must be possible to adjust the payment to the situation on-site, without the user having to enter into a contract or subscription. Payment by SMS is an example of this. This way, anyone can always and everywhere charge their vehicle.

Local authorities and companies are already following this code. It is the standard for public charging stations. This standard is also known as ‘interoperability’.
