Electric driving is extra attractive in the Netherlands. Lease drivers in particular benefit from this, as they pay only 4% additional tax in most cases. In addition, the lack of BPM and not having to pay road tax also help a lot.

But everything comes to an end, including all these extras. That is, if we can believe the sources of the NOS. These indicate that the Climate Agreement puts the electric car ahead of cars with combustion engines.

More expensive

If the plans go ahead, the proposed subsidy of € 6.000 on the purchase price of an electric car will be over. This will then be halved to € 3.000. In addition, the lease driver is also hit in the wallet. The current addition rate of 4% will be removed. This is changed to 8 or 10%. And this will also only apply up to a catalog value of € 40.000. Above this, the normal rate applies.
