Installing an EV charging point in Brussels

In Brussels the charger is almost never the hard part: the cable route, the power available at the meter and the condominium's approval are. Here is the logical order that avoids a stalled job.

The essentials in 30 seconds

  • 7.4 kW single-phase charger, fitted: EUR 1,500 to 2,600 incl. VAT.
  • 11 to 22 kW three-phase charger: EUR 2,200 to 3,800 incl. VAT.
  • RGIE inspection is mandatory after installing a new circuit.
  • In a condominium, the right to a socket is exercised through a written request to the manager.

Check the available power

A 40 A single-phase meter struggles to run a 7.4 kW charger alongside a water heater and an induction hob. A dynamic load manager solves this for EUR 250 to 500.

Switching to three-phase is requested from Sibelga and may involve connection works: confirm this before ordering the charger.

Condominium: the right to a socket

An owner or tenant may request a charger at their own expense on their parking space. The request is made in writing to the building manager, who must put it on the general meeting's agenda.

Prepare a technical file: cable route, dedicated protection, individual metering and the installer's insurance certificate. That file unlocks the decision, not the discussion at the meeting.

RGIE compliance

A charger requires a dedicated circuit, suitable residual-current protection (type A plus DC detection, or type B depending on the unit) and an inspection by an accredited body after the works.

LinkinTech excludes from matching any company without verified RGIE certification, and the inspection certificate is handed to you with the invoice.

Frequently asked questions

Can I charge from a domestic socket?

Occasionally and at 2.3 kW maximum, on a sound circuit. It is not a durable solution: the socket heats up and is not designed for hours of charging.

How long does installation take?

Half a day to a day in a house. In a condominium the administrative timeline usually outlasts the technical one.

Must the charger be declared to Sibelga?

Yes, as soon as the connection power changes or a substantial new circuit is added. Your installer handles this within the compliance file.
