ANWB: The reduction of tax benefits for electric cars is going too fast

NL Times  

The number of people Dutch people who are planning on buying an electric car is not increasing even though the demand for electric cars is increasing and more and more affordable models are being placed on the market. Especially the lack of clarity about the motor vehicle tax plays a significant part in people’s reluctance to buy an electric car. In addition to the motor vehicle tax, the purchasing price, the range that the cars can drive, and the charging networks also played a large role in the decision to buy an electric car. The ANWB is expecting an increase in second-hand electric cars and more models with a relatively lower purchase price to help with the affordability issues. The Netherlands is still the leader in Europe when it comes to public charging station density, with one charging point for every three electric cars.
