Vlaanderen besliste dat vanaf 2026 enkel nog fossielvrije bedrijfswagens – volledig elektrisch of op waterstof – fiscaal aftrekbaar zullen zijn. Een leasewagen op diesel of benzine zal voor 0% aftrekbaar zijn. Daarnaast moeten gebouwen die niet voor bewoning bestemd zijn en een minimaal aantal parkeerplaatsen hebben, tegen 2025 of bij nieuwbouw of ingrijpende renovatie zelfs onmiddellijk laadpalen voor elektrische voertuigen voorzien.
Today and (over)tomorrow
Larger companies with large parking lots will eventually need to provide a lot of charging stations. In addition to their own company cars, customers, suppliers, other visitors and employees will increasingly want/need to charge their electric cars.
First, current and future needs must be identified. Who are the users? Is this about in-house staff or rather customers, suppliers or public visitors? What are the needs of each type of user? What cars do they have and how fast do they need to be charged?
Moreover, today's needs are not those of tomorrow or the longer term, and it is difficult to estimate how quickly the transition will occur. A phased rollout of electric vehicles is best combined with a phased installation of additional charging infrastructure. It is therefore important to develop a concept today that also includes a vision for the future, and not to simply go with the supplier who offers the best solution in the short term, or be confronted with monopolies.
Distributie en service
The distribution of electricity must be considered: the supply (high voltage), the number of charging points, the cabling and the control cables for smart control that must ensure that the network is not overloaded when multiple cars charge simultaneously. But this is only the beginning. Then there is also the service hatch with the control of the charging stations, the energy management system and billing. For both components, there are more and more suppliers on the market, each with their own business model and pricing. This makes making the right choice increasingly difficult.
Thoughtful concept
Investment in charging infrastructure is therefore best done in a thoughtful and smart way. In this way, you avoid running into technical limitations in the future or getting stuck with expensive contracts that cannot react flexibly to new needs and wishes. Ingenium is not tied to specific charging station and software suppliers. Therefore, we can always propose an independent, customized concept for specific cases. This not only determines what the needs of today and the future are, and what needs to be provided each time. We also look at what the risks are along the way and how they can be addressed proactively.
Businesscase- FrieslandCampina
A concrete example is the production site of milk and dairy producer FrieslandCampina in Aalter, which today employs several hundred people. We developed a concept in which we split the distribution and service hatch of the new charging station infrastructure. For the distribution hatch, we provide a cabin to which 34 charging points are currently connected, but with expansion possibilities up to 321 charging points in the future. A smart control with priority control ensures that the system continues to function perfectly when many vehicles are connected simultaneously.
The market survey showed that there were large price differences between the offers submitted. Therefore, it was important to analyze the offers of the different suppliers in detail, as well as to negotiate further with them. From our experience in files with diverse clients, we can ask the right questions to identify the reasons for the price differences, and help choose the offer that perfectly suits the needs and wishes in each specific business case.
