It is the fourth and final charging station concession through the CPT (Clean Power for Transport) plan to have provided Flanders with basic charging infrastructure by the end of 2020.
Some 5,000 public charging points will be installed in Flanders and 400 private charging stations in residential homes.
Allego also won the three previous charging station concessions of the Flemish government through the CPT plan and it has already placed more than 3,000 public charging points in the region. Allego is the largest provider of public charging infrastructure in Belgium.
“We are proud that, like in recent years, we can contribute to strengthening electric mobility in Flanders,” said Allego Benelux MD, Harold Langenberg.
” A covering network of charging points is a requirement of drivers to switch to an electric car. In addition, an accessible purchase price of the vehicle and lower total mobility costs are also essential for the e-driver.
“While many surrounding countries are now scaling up their ambitions to plan both EV charging infrastructure and build vehicle purchase premiums, Flanders and Brussels seem to be operating less actively. We are worried about that.
“We call on Flemish politicians to define a follow-up to the CPT programme as soon as possible, together with the sector.”
