Charging your electric car in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
In Old Molenbeek and the Maritime district, housing is dense and private parking spaces are rare. Recent housing developments, on the other hand, often have car parks, sometimes already prepared for chargers. Towards Karreveld and the upper part of the municipality, there are more houses with garages.
The municipality's workshops, warehouses and small businesses can also equip their electric vans: one charger per vehicle, load management and metering to keep track of costs.

The electricity grid in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
As elsewhere in the Region, many homes in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean are connected to a 3 × 230 V grid rather than 3 × 400 V. On this grid, charging is usually single-phase, up to 7.4 kW, which is enough to charge most cars overnight. Not every charger is compatible: we check your grid connection before advising you. For any change to the connection, your contact is Sibelga, the Brussels distribution system operator.
