“What does a charging station cost?” is the most asked and worst answered question in this sector. The answer depends entirely on what is included.

The charger, the installation, fuse box modifications and smart features together determine the price.

The four cost components

01

The charger itself

€600 to €2,500 for AC chargers, depending on brand, power and smart features.

Key takeaway: €600 is a basic model without an app, €2,500 a top model with app, RFID, monitoring and PV integration.
02

The installation

€400 to €1,200, depending on the distance between fuse box and charger, the type of mounting (post or wall charger) and the complexity of the cable routing: digging or not, wall penetrations.

03

Fuse box modifications

€200 to €1,500. Adding a residual current device is cheap. Upgrading the circuit or switching from single-phase to three-phase can reach €1,500 or more.

Key takeaway: the latter goes through the grid operator, Fluvius or ORES, with a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks.
04

Smart or additional features

PV coupling, a management platform subscription, dynamic load balancing: on average €100 to €300 per year, or a one-off extra cost of €200 to €500.

Four worked examples

Individual, standard€1,500 to €1,800Single-phase, charger next to the fuse box. The scenario for 60% of Belgian homes.
Individual with solar panels€2,200 to €2,800Three-phase, smart charger with solar integration, 8 metres of cable.
Individual, complex€3,500 to €4,800Garage at the back of the garden, 25 metres of buried cable, circuit upgrade, smart charger.
SME with 6 charging points€18,000 to €28,000Including load balancing, management platform and main cabling.

For the SME, that comes to €3,000 to €4,700 per charging point. That is more than for an individual, because infrastructure, monitoring and grid management are included. Current market prices are in the Certipower price barometer.

What changes in 2026?

Grants for individuals have been cut sharply compared to 2023 and 2024. An overview per region is in regional charging grants in 2026 compared. For companies, the tax treatment of charging infrastructure depends on the situation. Have your accountant check it.
