Charging Costs in Belgium

How to Pay at Allego in Belgium

Allego accepts the Allego app, RFID cards, and contactless payment. In Belgium, many drivers use employer-provided RFID charging cards that work at Allego through roaming networks. Contactless bank cards are a simple alternative for anyone without a dedicated charging card.

Allego's average DC rate of about 0.69 EUR/kWh is above Belgium's national DC average of roughly 0.60 EUR/kWh. Home electricity costs around 0.32 EUR/kWh. The premium for Allego's ultra-rapid speeds is moderate in Belgium. Company car drivers whose employer covers charging costs may not feel the difference.

Tips for Charging with Allego in Belgium

• Belgium is compact. Most trips can be covered with a single charge stop, making ultra-rapid 350 kW chargers especially useful for quick top-ups.
• CCS2 is the standard DC connector. CHAdeMO is available at some Allego locations.
• Many Belgian company car drivers have charging cards from their employer or lease company. These often work at Allego through roaming agreements.
• Allego stations are found along the E40, E19, and other major Belgian motorways. Coverage between Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and Liège is good.
• Traffic congestion is common in Belgium. Use charging time to avoid rush hour by stopping when traffic is heaviest.

Common Issues

• Motorway charging locations near Antwerp and Brussels can be busy during peak commuting hours.
• Some company car RFID cards have restrictions on which networks they cover. Verify that your card works at Allego before relying on it.
• Older Allego stations may offer only 50 kW, which is much slower than the 350 kW advertised for newer hubs.

Belgium has several other charging networks with good motorway coverage and competitive pricing.
