Charging your electric car in Watermael-Boitsfort
Watermael-Boitsfort is one of the greenest municipalities in the Region, bordering the Sonian Forest. Houses with a garage or driveway are common and well suited to a wall-mounted or post-mounted charger.
In the Le Logis and Floréal garden cities, the appearance of façades and their surroundings is governed by heritage rules. Before installing anything visible from public space, check with the municipality; we favour discreet locations, inside a garage or at the back of the house.

The electricity grid in Watermael-Boitsfort
As elsewhere in the Region, many homes in Watermael-Boitsfort 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.
