Overview
- New CBS figures show more than 2 million passenger cars now have an electric motor, which is over one in five cars on Dutch roads.
- The fleet includes 804,962 hybrids, which use a small motor to assist a fuel engine, 694,602 fully electric cars, and 523,773 plug‑in hybrids that can charge from a plug.
- Plug‑in hybrids grew 40% from a year earlier, while fully electric cars rose 22% and hybrids increased 19%.
- Electrified models made up nearly 86% of all new car sales in 2025, as petrol fell to 13% and diesel to about 1% of the market.
- Ownership skews older and varies by place, with about 1.3 million electrified cars privately owned, nearly two thirds held by people over 50, Rozendaal highest per capita, and Amsterdam leading in absolute numbers at about 40,000.
