Het opladen van een elektrische auto in Belgi\u00eb kan bij de ene openbare laadpaal meer dan twee keer zo veel kosten als bij een andere. Belgische mobiliteitsorganisatie VAB noemt het het \u2018Wilde Westen\u2019<\/a> en streeft naar de hoogst mogelijke tarieven.<\/p>\n

De Belgische minister van Consumentenbescherming, Rob Beenders, heeft hierop gereageerd door aan te dringen op strengere Europese regels om de prijsvorming eenvoudiger en transparanter te maken, mogelijk al vanaf 2027.<\/p>\n

Maar de EU heeft al wetgeving die aanbieders van oplaaddiensten verplicht hun tarieven en bijkomende kosten bekend te maken. Waarom krijgen automobilisten dan nog steeds te maken met onverwachte rekeningen?<\/p>\n

Een recent onderzoek door de Belgische openbare omroep VRT NWS<\/a>, met meer dan 25.000 oplaadpunten, bracht opvallende verschillen aan het licht. Een vergelijkbare oplaadsessie kostte in Hasselt 24 euro, maar in Zandhoven 64,20 euro, een verschil van bijna 170%. De elektriciteitstarieven varieerden van 0,22 euro tot meer dan 1,30 euro per kWh.<\/p>\n

Ze vragen gewoon wat ze willen<\/h4>\n

Gert Verhoeven van de VAB stelt dat exploitanten van openbare laadpunten te veel vrijheid hebben om extra kosten in rekening te brengen, waardoor het voor automobilisten steeds moeilijker wordt om prijzen te vergelijken.<\/p>\n

Het probleem is vooral acuut bij langzamere openbare laadpunten, die vaak te vinden zijn in woonwijken en op gemeentelijke parkeerterreinen. Naast de elektriciteit zelf kunnen automobilisten te maken krijgen met aansluitkosten, roamingtoeslagen en tijdgebonden kosten, soms zelfs \u2019s nachts.<\/p>\n

De VAB pleit voor meer transparantie en maximale all-in-tarieven, vergelijkbaar met de gereguleerde maximumprijzen die Belgi\u00eb hanteert voor benzine en diesel.<\/p>\n

Is Belgi\u00eb goedkoper dan zijn buurlanden?<\/h4>\n

Verrassend genoeg behoort Belgi\u00eb niet per se tot de duurste landen van Europa wat het openbaar opladen van elektrische auto\u2019s betreft.<\/p>\n

\"\"
De tarieven voor openbare oplaadpunten in Belgi\u00eb lijken relatief laag, maar door verborgen kosten kan de uiteindelijke rekening veel hoger uitvallen \/ChargeInsights.eu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Volgens de Europese database voor laadprijzen ChargeInsights bedragen de in Belgi\u00eb geadverteerde ad-hoc-tarieven gemiddeld ongeveer \u20ac 0,38\/kWh voor wisselstroomladen en \u20ac 0,41\/kWh voor conventioneel gelijkstroomladen. Vergelijkbare cijfers liggen rond de \u20ac 0,45 en \u20ac 0,54 in Nederland, en \u20ac 0,56 en \u20ac 0,57 in Duitsland.<\/p>\n

De database bestrijkt echter slechts een deel van het oplaadnetwerk, en de Belgische steekproef is sterk geconcentreerd bij een beperkt aantal exploitanten. Belangrijk is dat deze gemiddelden geen rekening houden met bijkomende kosten en niet als representatief kunnen worden beschouwd voor de uiteindelijke rekeningen van automobilisten.<\/p>\n

Dit illustreert het fundamentele probleem: het vergelijken van geadverteerde elektriciteitsprijzen zegt automobilisten opmerkelijk weinig over wat ze daadwerkelijk zullen betalen.<\/p>\n

Duitsland heeft hetzelfde probleem<\/h4>\n

Belgi\u00eb staat niet alleen. In een onderzoek uit 2026 van de Duitse Stiftung Klimaneutralit\u00e4t werden ongeveer 99.000 tariefgegevens van 375 exploitanten van laadpunten en 412 aanbieders van mobiliteitsdiensten geanalyseerd.<\/p>\n

Uit het onderzoek bleek dat bestuurders bij hetzelfde laadstation aanzienlijk verschillende prijzen konden betalen, afhankelijk van of ze rechtstreeks betaalden, gebruik maakten van het eigen contract van de exploitant of een laadkaart van een derde partij gebruikten.<\/p>\n

De mediane premie voor roaming bij derden bedroeg 34%, terwijl de tarieven voor ad-hoc-snelladen varieerden van \u20ac 0,39 tot \u20ac 0,94\/kWh.<\/p>\n

In een in mei 2026 gepubliceerde studie van het Europees Parlement werd ook gewezen op het gebrek aan transparantie, de beperkte vergelijkbaarheid en mogelijke concurrentieproblemen op het gebied van openbare oplaadpunten in de hele EU.<\/p>\n

Europa heeft al regels<\/h4>\n

Toch wordt veel van wat de Belgische minister van Consumentenbescherming, Rob Beenders, wil aanpakken, al geregeld door de Europese wetgeving.<\/p>\n

De EU-verordening inzake infrastructuur voor alternatieve brandstoffen (AFIR), die sinds april 2024 van kracht is, schrijft voor dat de tarieven voor openbare oplaadpunten redelijk, transparant, niet-discriminerend en gemakkelijk vergelijkbaar moeten zijn.<\/p>\n

Bij laadpunten van 50 kW of meer moeten exploitanten de actuele elektriciteitsprijs per kWh en eventuele parkeerkosten vermelden. Bij langzamere laadpunten moeten alle onderdelen van het actuele tarief duidelijk zichtbaar zijn voordat het laden begint.<\/p>\n

Aanbieders van oplaadkaarten moeten bovendien de geldende roamingkosten en andere kosten bekendmaken voordat een sessie begint.<\/p>\n

De verordening legt echter geen specifieke maximumprijs vast en verbiedt de meeste bijkomende kosten evenmin. Ook schrijft zij niet noodzakelijkerwijs voor dat de exacte eindafrekening vooraf bekend moet zijn, aangezien die afhankelijk is van het verbruikte energieverbruik en de duur van de aansluiting.<\/p>\n

Nieuwe regels of betere handhaving?<\/h4>\n

In reactie op het onderzoek van de VRT, Beenders<\/a> pleitte voor eenvoudigere, strengere Europese regels, die mogelijk in 2027 van kracht worden. Hij erkende dat de tarieven onvermijdelijk per locatie zullen verschillen, maar benadrukte dat automobilisten moeten begrijpen wat ze betalen.<\/p>\n

De Europese wetgeving schrijft ook voor dat nationale autoriteiten toezicht moeten houden op de naleving. Beenders zegt dat Belgi\u00eb al jaarlijkse controles uitvoert.<\/p>\n

Dat roept een lastige vraag op: als transparantie al meer dan twee jaar verplicht is, waarom hebben consumenten dan nog steeds moeite om de tarieven te begrijpen?<\/p>\n

Newmobility.news heeft het kabinet van de minister gevraagd hoeveel exploitanten er in 2025 en 2026 zijn gecontroleerd, of er overtredingen zijn vastgesteld en of duidelijkere informatie over all-inprijzen de voorkeur zou kunnen genieten boven gereguleerde maximumtarieven.<\/p>\n

De grootste verliezers zijn degenen zonder oprit<\/h4>\n

Voor automobilisten die thuis kunnen opladen, kunnen de tarieven voor openbare oplaadpunten af en toe een bron van ergernis zijn. Voor bewoners van appartementen zonder eigen parkeerplaats kan het rijden in een elektrische auto de kosten-batenverhouding fundamenteel veranderen.<\/p>\n

Bij een jaarlijks verbruik van 2.700 kWh leidt het betalen van \u20ac 0,80 per kWh in plaats van \u20ac 0,38 tot een stijging van de elektriciteitskosten met \u20ac 1.134 per jaar, nog afgezien van eventuele bijkomende kosten.<\/p>\n

Tijdgebonden tarieven kunnen de situatie nog ingewikkelder maken. Ze kunnen bestuurders terecht ontmoedigen om laadpunten onnodig bezet te houden, maar leiden tot controverse wanneer ze worden toegepast op het 's nachts opladen of terwijl voertuigen nog aan het opladen zijn.<\/p>\n

Een concurrerende markt vereist geen identieke prijzen. Wel is het wel zo dat consumenten de prijzen moeten begrijpen en alternatieven moeten kunnen vergelijken.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
