Milestone for electric driving: Electra passes 1,000 fast-charging points in Belgium

Brussels, November 9 - Electra, the European specialist in ultra-fast EV charging, is celebrating a new milestone in Belgium. With its new station at Burger King in Wilrijk, strategically located on one of the busiest roads in the Antwerp region, the network has passed the mark of 1,000 fast-charging points. Just over three years after opening its very first Belgian station, Electra confirms its position as Belgium’s largest fast-charging network by number of fast-charging points, now with 150 stations and more than three million charging sessions to date.

From 0 to 1,000 fast-charging points in just over three years

Since June 2023, Electra has expanded its Belgian network by an average of around 300 new charging points a year. What started as an ambitious roll-out has grown into an established presence in both Belgium and France, alongside strong expansion in eight other European markets. The 1,000-point milestone underlines not only Electra’s rapid growth, but also the rising demand for fast charging in Belgium. Together, those three million charging sessions account for more than 92 million kWh of electricity and a saving of 73,608 tonnes of CO₂.

Combining business with pleasure

It is no coincidence that the 1,000th charging point is located at Burger King on the busy A12 in Wilrijk. Electra strategically selects sites where people regularly stop. Drivers can charge their car at up to 400 kW, taking the battery from 20% to 80% in just 15 to 20 minutes, while they have a meal, get some work done or simply take a break. Drivers who activate Autocharge in the Electra app don’t need to take out a charging card or open the app: with compatible cars, charging starts automatically as soon as the car is plugged in. The app also sends a notification when the car is ready.

"We want to integrate charging seamlessly into EV drivers’ everyday lives. Charging shouldn’t mean lost time; it should coincide with a moment of comfort, whether that’s a quick bite at Burger King or a trip to the supermarket. With three million completed charging sessions, we’re proving that drivers embrace our combination of top speed, reliability and comfort. This is a great milestone, but we’re already shifting into the next gear,” says Louis-Charles Mosseray, General Manager of Electra BeNeLux.

Full speed ahead to 2030

By 2030, Electra aims to open hundreds of additional fast-charging stations in Belgium. The focus is on building an even denser network along key routes and in urban residential areas where off-street parking is scarce. Charging speeds are moving up too. Since March, Malle has been home to Belgium’s first 1,000 kW charging station, delivering charging speeds of up to 600 kW. Every station is accessible 24/7 and runs on 100% green electricity.

This Belgian growth contributes to an ambitious European goal: 15,000 fast-charging points at 2,200 locations by 2030. To get there, Electra works with partners including Delhaize, Colmar Group and Burger King, as well as with Atlante, Fastned and Ionity in the Spark Alliance. What’s more, with a single app and a single charging card, Electra customers can charge at 800,000 charging points across Europe, with no additional commission and a price that is fixed before charging starts.
