Charging your electric car in Saint-Gilles
Around the Parvis, the Barrière or Porte de Hal, Saint-Gilles has few private garages. Townhouses converted into flats rarely have parking, and buildings that do must organise charging as a co-ownership.
Near Gare du Midi, offices and hotels are equipping their car parks for staff and customers. For a resident without a private parking space, a home charger is not possible: we would rather tell you so honestly and point you towards solutions that suit you.

The electricity grid in Saint-Gilles
As elsewhere in the Region, many homes in Saint-Gilles 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.
