Belgian company mobility is on the brink of a fundamental transformation. In less than five years’ time, the way we think about company cars will have changed dramatically. At Blossom, we closely monitor emerging trends and are confident enough to make concrete predictions about what lies ahead.
Spoiler alert: the changes are bigger than you think, yet more predictable than many companies fear. Let’s take a look at what the future holds.
Prediction 1: Every employee will be driving electric by 2030
The figures speak for themselves. In 2025, more than 70% of all new company cars ordered were electric. This is no longer a gradual transition, it is a full-scale revolution.
According to forecast models, as much as 84% of the entire Belgian company car fleet will be electrified by 2030. This means that within five years, almost every company car on Belgian roads will be electric. This trend is further reinforced by the fact that 87.7% of new electric vehicles were registered by companies and leasing firms.
What does this mean for you as a fleet manager?
The question is no longer whether you will switch to electric vehicles, but when and how. Companies that continue to hesitate will soon find themselves paying more for fewer and less attractive options. The best suppliers will have waiting lists, and there will be a shortage of experienced installers. By acting now, you can build valuable experience and avoid the rush of 2027–2028.
Prediction 2: The mobility budget will create new opportunities
From 1 January 2026, employers offering company cars will also be required to offer a mobility budget as an alternative. Currently, only 3.23% of employers do so, but that situation is set to change dramatically.
The mobility budget enables employees to exchange their company car for a flexible budget that can be spent on various modes of transport, such as a smaller car combined with a bicycle, public transport, occasional car-sharing, or even mortgage repayments. This fiscal instrument shifts the focus from ownership to usage.
What will this mean for company mobility?
We are moving from a one-size-fits-all approach to more tailored solutions. Employees increasingly value flexibility over ownership and want freedom of choice within their mobility package. The traditional company car will remain, but as one option within a broader mobility offering. This requires new management systems capable of handling this complexity.
Prediction 3: The second-hand market will be the game changer
An underestimated factor in the EV transition is the role of the second-hand market. Companies are the first to invest in electric vehicles, largely due to tax incentives. After three to five years, these vehicles will become available to private buyers.
This creates a cascade effect: by 2030, millions of affordable EVs will be available on the European second-hand market, significantly accelerating private adoption. Leasing companies will also develop new business models, such as offering second-hand leases to former employees through the mobility budget.
What does this mean for your fleet?
The residual value of your electric company cars will become a strategic factor. Those that are well maintained and have a documented history of good battery health will retain their value more effectively. This makes smart fleet management even more important, particularly with resale value in mind.
Prediction 4: Total Cost of Use will replace Total Cost of Ownership
The traditional TCO approach (Total Cost of Ownership) relies on assumptions and averages. However, in the world of electric driving, where charging costs can vary significantly depending on where and when charging occurs, this model is too imprecise.
The TCU (Total Cost of Use) approach uses real data: how many miles are driven, where vehicles are charged, and what is paid for energy. This provides a far more accurate picture of costs and creates opportunities for optimisation.
What does this mean for cost management?
Smart systems that monitor and optimise your charging mix will become the norm. Fleet managers will gain real-time insight into where savings can be made. Is home charging cheaper than office charging? Which employees rely too heavily on expensive rapid chargers? These insights will enable targeted interventions.
Prediction 5: The car policy will become the essential EV enabler
A well-designed car policy is not an administrative obligation but a strategic instrument that can make or break your EV transition. Clear agreements on charging, reimbursements and responsibilities establish trust and encourage optimal charging behaviour.
Companies with a clear, inclusive policy enjoy higher employee satisfaction, lower costs and fewer frustrations. Those without a solid policy struggle with ambiguity, ongoing discussions and dissatisfied employees.
What does this mean for your organisation?
Invest time in developing a well-considered car policy. Involve your employees in the process, anticipate different home situations, and communicate your expectations and responsibilities clearly. This will prevent 90% of issues before they arise.
From prediction to preparation
These five trends are not distant possibilities, they are already under way. Companies that act now will gain a cost, experience and employee satisfaction advantage. Those that wait will ultimately pay the price.
At Blossom, we help organisations navigate this transition successfully. Not only do we provide the technology, but we also offer the strategic insight and operational support needed to turn these predictions into reality for your business.

At Blossom, we believe that managing an electric fleet can be easier and smarter. That’s why we offer fleet managers an intuitive and reliable platform to effortlessly manage home chargers, charging cards and associated costs. No unnecessary complexity – just all the support you need to transition smoothly to a modern, sustainable fleet.
From invitation to installation
The Blossom platform starts by inviting employees who need a home charger or charging card. This process is completed in a few simple steps:
- The fleet manager enters the employee’s email address and they receive an invitation.
- The employee is guided to request their charging card and/or home charger on the platform.
- We arrange the installation appointment.
- The fleet manager can track each employee’s progress through the installation process.
This approach ensures a streamlined onboarding experience while keeping the process simple and transparent.
Full visibility and control
Once the home charger is installed and the employee is fully ‘on board’, Blossom provides a detailed overview of all charging sessions, costs and any reimbursements. This gives fleet managers the insights they need to effectively monitor and manage energy consumption and associated costs. Clear reports and a user-friendly interface make it easy to optimise charging costs and fleet usage efficiently.
Discover how Blossom makes fleet management easier
From onboarding and installation to managing charging sessions and costs, Blossom’s easy-to-use solution saves fleet managers significant time and effort throughout the entire process. Whether you’re setting up a new electric fleet or optimizing an existing one, we’re here to help.

Together, we can make electric driving easy and worry-free.
The electric revolution is in full swing. More and more companies are offering their employees electric company cars as part of their sustainability strategy. But this transition also raises new questions: How does home charging work? And what are the tax implications? A recent circular from the Belgian Federal Public Service for Finance (2024/C/77) provides answers. At the same time, Blossom demonstrates how companies can seamlessly integrate this into their policies.
A look at the tax guidelines
Imagine an employee charging their electric company car at home. Who pays for the electricity? And what does that mean from a tax perspective? This is exactly what the circular clarifies. A distinction is made between electricity supplied directly by the employer and electricity paid for by the employee and reimbursed afterward.
In the case of direct supply, for example, through a charging card or a charging station at the office, the costs fall under the fixed taxable benefit of the company car. However, if an employee initially pays for the electricity costs themselves, the reimbursement is considered a separate taxable benefit—unless it concerns professional travel expenses. For commuting, employers can reimburse part of the cost tax-free, up to a maximum of €490 per year in 2025. Private kilometers, however, remain taxable.
The circular also provides a special exemption to facilitate the transition to electric driving. If a charging station is equipped with a system that accurately records the electricity used for the company car, the employer may reimburse these costs without additional taxation. A fixed rate per kWh, known as the CREG tariff, can even be used, simplifying administration as long as the rules are followed.
Practice: simplicity versus complexity
While the circular provides clarity, practical challenges remain. How do you accurately register the company car’s consumption? How do you ensure that employees are not taxed on their charging costs? And how do you keep the entire process transparent and fair? This is where technology and smart solutions become essential.
Blossom addresses these challenges by offering companies comprehensive charging solutions that not only comply with tax requirements but are also practical, user-friendly, and future-proof.
Blossom: bridging the gap between regulations and ease of use
At Blossom, simplicity is key. Our goal is to relieve companies and their employees of both technical and administrative burdens. We start with a high-quality home charging solution: reliable chargers designed with the whole family in mind. An employee can charge their company car, while other family members can use the charger for their private vehicles. The smart system automatically records the electricity used for the company car.
But Blossom goes even further. Thanks to our Fleet Dashboard, employers have real-time insight into each employee’s consumption. This allows for effortless reimbursements based on the CREG tariff. Additionally, all our home chargers are equipped with MID-certified meters, ensuring the highest standards of measurement accuracy. This guarantees that every kilowatt-hour charged is correctly recorded.
By combining technology with tax expertise, Blossom perfectly aligns with the requirements of the circular. Reimbursements are processed smoothly, with no surprises for employers or employees. The result? Less administrative hassle, happier employees, and a company ready for the future.
A step forward in sustainability
The transition to electric driving is more than just a technical adjustment; it’s a step towards a more sustainable world. With solutions like those from Blossom, this transition becomes simpler, more feasible, and more attractive—not only for employers looking to become more sustainable but also for employees who want to switch to electric driving worry-free.
Blossom proves that the future of mobility can be green, smart, and user-friendly. Curious about how we can support your company? We’re ready to help you build an electric mobility policy that works for everyone.

At Blossom, we love simplicity, efficiency, and smart technology. Your charging card is the key to hassle-free charging, but how do you keep it in top shape? A few smart habits can help prevent damage and ensure you can hit the road worry-free.
How does your charging card actually work?
Inside your card, a small antenna and an RFID chip draw power from the charging station’s signal.
This signal activates the chip, which then sends a unique code: “It’s me, and this is my key.” Once the charging station recognizes your key, charging begins. No batteries are required. The system is lightning fast and super energy efficient.
But because the antenna and chip are delicate, it’s important to handle your card with care. Here are the biggest pitfalls and how to avoid them.
Biggest mistake: Leaving your card in “the storage compartment”
Many drivers leave their charging card in the car’s storage compartment, right next to their wirelessly charging phone. Big mistake! Wireless charging creates an electromagnetic field that can damage your card’s antenna. This is one of the most common reasons charging cards stop working.
Other risks to your charging card
- Physical damage: Your card isn’t designed to be bent or scratched. Store it in a secure place, such as a sturdy cardholder.
- Heat and moisture: Avoid extremes of temperature and humidity. Don’t leave your card in a hot car or expose it to water.
- Magnetic fields: Strong magnets can interfere with your card. Keep it away from magnetic clips or speakers.
Blossom’s tips for a happy charging card
- Keep it away from your phone: Never place your card near a wireless charger or in the same pocket as your phone. Use a dedicated cardholder instead.
- Give it a permanent home: Keep your card safely secure in a wallet or holder to prevent accidental damage.
- Keep it clean: Wipe it with a soft cloth to remove dust and grease.
- Protect it from the elements: Keep it dry and away from extreme heat.
What if your card stops working?
No worries! If your card stops working, just let us know. We’ll get you a new one in no time. Of course, prevention is always better than cure.
Charge with confidence, the Blossom way
At Blossom, we make things simple and seamless. Taking good care of your charging card will help you avoid unnecessary hassle and keep your charging experience as smooth as the rest of our solutions. Store it wisely and make sure you’re always powered up and ready to go.
