The Netherlands is considered one of the frontrunners in the field of electric mobility, both in number of plug-in electric vehicles sold as in the number of publicly available charging stations. This chapter analyses the policy measures that led to the growth in the number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It also provides room for a critique of the policies, with a special focus on the actual reduction of emissions. Consequently the number of public charging stations also rose. The chapter provides an analysis of how these charging stations are used and in which way this is related to sales policies. The chapter provides several lessons learned on how to shape policy to get a group of early adopters to drive electric.

For vehicles with more 50 g of CO2 emissions the addition tax varied between 14 and 22% depending on fuel type and CO2 emissions. This was simplified to 22% in 2018 for all vehicles. In the text we have limited ourselves by focussing on EVs. A complete overview, going back to 2011 can be found on the website of the Dutch tax authority: https://#HL-21.3.4.

New passenger car registrations in the Netherlands increased in February by 24 percent year-over-year to 28,128.
The Dutch market is gradually becoming more and more electrified with a growing advantage for all-electric cars (BEVs) over plug-in hybrid cars (PHEVs). In February, BEVs noted some 6,400 new registrations (up 67 percent year-over-year), while PHEVs roughly 3,900 units (up 40 percent year-over-year).
New plug-in car registrations:
So far this year, roughly 19,000 new plug-in electric cars were registered in the Netherlands, which is some 41 percent more than a year ago.
For reference, in 2022, more than 107,000 new passenger plug-in electric cars were registered in the Netherlands, which is over 12 percent more than in 2021 (over 95,000) and about 35 percent of the total market (compared to 30 percent in 2021).
Because the latter part of the previous year was significantly affected by the constrained supply of new plug-in cars, we guess that this year we might see a consistent increase in plug-in car sales.
February was another month with the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV at the top of the list (both among plug-ins and overall) with a new monthly record of 1,098 units.
Meanwhile, the Volvo XC40 with 683 units (all-electric and plug-in hybrid versions counted together) and the Tesla Model Y with 653 units were competing for second place.
It will be very interesting to see whether the Tesla Model Y or some other all-electric will be able to beat the plug-in hybrid Lynk & Co 01.
The top plug-in car brands in the Netherlands in January-February were Volvo (11.4% share), Lynk & Co (9.9%), BMW (8.6%), Tesla (6.9%), Mercedes-Benz (6.4%) and Renault (6.4%).
Among the automotive groups, the ones with the highest number of registrations are: Geely-Volvo (including Lynk & Co and Polestar) at 22.0%, Volkswagen Group (14.7%), Stellantis (10.6%), Hyundai-Kia (10.2%), BMW Group (9.8%) and Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance (9.1%).

As at 1 January 2021, the number of passenger cars registered in the Netherlands stood at nearly 156 thousand, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.3 percent. Eight out of ten passenger cars run on petrol. The number of petrol cars rose by 1.5 percent on the previous year while the number of diesel cars dropped by 9.1 percent.
In a span of twelve months, the number of PEVs rose by 38 percent (76 thousand) to over 273 thousand by 1 January 2021. Especially the fully electric vehicle (FEV) fleet grew substantially over the past year: by 63 percent. Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are passenger cars with an electric motor and a battery that can be recharged by plugging it into an external power source. They comprise both fully electric vehicles (FEVs), solely driven by an electric motor (and emission-free), and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). The latter type contains a conventional fuel engine in addition to the electric motor. At the beginning of 2021, 3.1 percent of the total passenger car fleet in the Netherlands were plug-in cars.
Last year, plug-in electric vehicles gained popularity among private car owners. The privately owned share of PEVs rose from 27 percent at the beginning of 2020 to 36 percent at the beginning of 2021. Nevertheless, the majority of PEVs are still in company ownership (64 percent). At the start of 2021, the business-owned share of FEVs even amounted to 78 percent. The number of private owners doubled while the number of business-owned cars grew by 55 percent.
In the plug-in hybrid segment, as of January 2021 private ownership even exceeded business ownership for the first time. The number of privately owned plug-in hybrids rose by 78 percent over a span of twelve months while the business-owned fleet shrank by 32 percent.Through the Subsidy Scheme for Electric Cars for Private Individuals (SEPP), private individuals can receive a subsidy for the purchase of a new or used electric car. There are also schemes for business drivers that make electric driving attractive. For example, business drivers with a fully electric car will pay an additional tax liability of 8 percent, compared to 22 percent for a petrol or diesel car, and they are exempt from motor vehicle tax.
In June, the Netherlands saw battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) pull further ahead of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). José Pontes, data director at EV-volumes , considers the latest electric vehicle (EV) numbers.
A total of 18,792 EVs (BEVs and PHEVs) were registered in the Netherlands last month. These plug-in vehicles accounted for 45% of the new-car market in June and 42% in the first six months of the year. This is largely thanks to the increasing popularity of BEVs, which made up 33% of total registrations.
BEVs accounted for 73% of the EV market in June, boosting the average across the first half of the year to 69%. This trend should continue throughout 2023, likely reaching 80% by the end of the year. This would be a significant improvement over the 69% recorded across 2022, pushing PHEVs to margins and confirming BEV domination by 2025.
At the end of 2023, EVs will probably account for nearly half of the Netherlands'' overall new-car market. This would put the country''s electric transformation on track to finish before the end of this decade.
