Our analysis
Should you look at WLTP or real-world range?
Real-world range, always. The WLTP cycle is optimistic by 15–25% in average use, and the gap climbs to 25–35% in winter on the motorway. An electric car rated at 400 km WLTP often holds 260–300 km in cold weather.
The figure that really counts: range at 120 km/h in winter, not the catalogue peak. For a Brussels–Strasbourg trip without charging, that is what decides. The Model Y and BMW i4 keep a comfortable margin; the Dacia Spring is town-only.
Is electric worth it as a company car in 2026?
In most cases, yes. As of this article (June 2026), Belgian taxation reserves high deductibility for electric vehicles on new orders, while that of combustion engines is phasing out. The net after-tax cost tilts clearly toward electric.
For a private cash purchase at low mileage, the calculation is tighter: home charging remains the key saving, but amortising the higher purchase price takes longer. What we’d avoid: switching without reliable charging at home or the office.
How much does charging really cost in Belgium?
At home, count about €4–6 per 100 km at current residential rates (12–18 kWh/100 km). That is three to four times less than an equivalent tank of petrol, and it is the electric car’s main saving lever.
On a public fast charger, the cost can triple and match a combustion car. In practice, electric is only truly worthwhile if you charge mostly at home or the office. What we’d avoid: relying on fast charging alone day to day.
How do we score electric cars?
The score out of 100 aggregates real-world range, Belgian list price, the company-car tax case, charging quality and speed, space and resale value. The charging network weighs as much as the spec sheet.
The Tesla Model Y leads because it combines range, easy charging and cabin space in one place. The Mégane E-Tech wins on value, the Dacia Spring on price alone. Weight these by your own use.
