In 2026, the three regions each have their own logic for supporting charging infrastructure.
For individuals, companies and co-ownerships, the benefit varies widely: in amount, conditions, cumulation rules and the deadline for applying. Below is the overview as we apply it in our files today.
Flanders
Flanders provides targeted support for publicly accessible charging infrastructure. For individuals, there is no longer a tax reduction for a home charger. For companies, the tax route remains the main route. Current amounts and conditions: energiesparen.be and vlaanderen.be.
For co-ownerships, there is specific support for collective charging infrastructure, linked to conditions on shared or public use. Check the current conditions with your grid operator, or let us request them.
The most common mistake in files: applying only after installation, while the scheme requires approval before work starts.
Brussels
Through Brussels Environment, Brussels offers grants for charging infrastructure in residential and collective buildings, with a higher ceiling for co-ownerships. Amounts depend on the building type and the number of charging points. Current conditions: environment.brussels.
In Brussels practice, files in which the charging infrastructure is part of a broader renovation score considerably better than stand-alone applications. Expect conditions on the building’s energy performance or on a charging policy within the co-ownership.
Wallonia
Wallonia supports charging infrastructure through the primes énergie, with conditions on technical features such as smart charging and OCPP compliance. For individuals, the maximum amount per household is lower than in Brussels, but so is the access threshold. Current amounts and conditions: energie.wallonie.be.
For companies, Wallonia combines the primes énergie with additional sector support for those investing in public or semi-public charging infrastructure. Cumulation with the tax deduction is possible, provided the grant is deducted when calculating the deductible amount.
Federal: what still applies today
The federal tax reduction for individuals with a home charger and the increased cost deduction for companies ended on 31 August 2024. What remains:
- Deduction as a business expense for companies, under the ordinary rules.
- VAT recovery based on the mixed or professional use of the charger, in line with the general VAT rules.

The three most common mistakes in grant files
Order of application
Some schemes require approval or registration before work starts.
Cumulation rules
Regional support and tax deductions can often be combined, but the grant must be correctly offset in the tax deduction.
Technical conditions
Smart charging, OCPP compliance and the option of public access are often hard conditions. Why OCPP matters: OCPP and interoperability.
What changes in the second half of 2026?
Several regions have announced reforms, including on linking charging infrastructure with home batteries, and on a shift to performance-based grants in Flanders. We update this overview with every significant change.
What an installation costs before grants is covered in what does it cost to install a charging station in 2026?
