Road traffic causes about a fifth of greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands. An electric car does not emit greenhouse gases and nitrogen dioxide. For this reason, the government encourages driving with electric vehicles. We see more and more electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles on the road. The Climate Agreement states that the Netherlands must emit 2030% less CO49 by 2. In 2050 that will be 95%. Clean transport helps to achieve those goals. For example, all new passenger cars coming onto the market in 2030 must be 100% electric. These cars then run on electricity from a battery, hydrogen fuel cell or solar panels.

We will be moving towards 1,9 million electric passenger vehicles by then. In addition, strong growth is also expected in electric buses, delivery vans, trucks, inland vessels, light electric vehicles (LEVs) and other electric transport/transport. With the arrival of more and more electric vehicles, more and more charging points will also have to be installed. With 1,9 million electric vehicles you need 1,7 million charging points. We now often hear from electric drivers the annoyance about so-called charging pole stickers. You have probably heard of it, people who leave their electric car on the charging station while the battery is fully charged and therefore keep this place occupied unnecessarily.
