The 2026 Brussels Motor Show (January 9-18, 2026) marked a moment in European electric vehicle development. Over 300,000 saw the world and European premieres of affordable mass-market EVs, ultra-fast-charging architectures, and premium vehicles redefining what electric mobility can deliver.

Brussels has replaced Geneva as Europe's premier EV launchpad, with the show floor reflecting not aspirational concepts but production-ready metal arriving throughout 2026.
