Belgium accelerates towards a fully electric future in Q2 2026

16/09/2026 - Belgium's electric vehicle market continues to evolve, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) strengthening their position as the preferred choice for drivers.

At the same time, plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) registrations declined by 37% year on year, suggesting that many consumers are increasingly choosing to transition directly to battery electric technology. While the overall electrified vehicle market remained stable, with EVs accounting for 54% of all registrations, the continued decline of traditional combustion engine vehicles highlights Belgium's steady progress towards electrification.
