Everyone on the electric car, subsidy of 6,000 euros in 2021

The Netherlands only buy electric cars in 2030, there are 2 million electric cars on the roads and 1.8 million charging points spread all over the country. The government and the mobility sector believe that these goals are achievable through grants and tax measures.

This is clear from the confidential documents kept by the NOS and discussed at the "Table of Mobility", which is part of the climate agreement. Negotiating parties – the government and the mobility sector – are, according to some sources, almost in agreement on all measures. But topics are so sensitive that discussions take longer than expected.

Acquisition Grant

The proposed measures cover tax benefits and subsidies. For new zero-emission cars for private use, an acquisition grant of 6,000 euros will be paid in 2021, then 2,200 euros in 2030.

Electric cars will remain exempt from the bpm until the end of the year. 2025, that is, the tax on the purchase. From 2025, the buyer pays 350 euros at a time. In addition, the fully electric drivers will have to pay the tax on motor vehicles from 2025. They are still totally exempt until this year.

For commercial cars, there will be a reduced addition and a subsidy to the purchase that starts at 2030 euros in 2021 and drops to 1830 euros in 2024. The so-called tax relief granted to environmental investments (MIA ) electric cars or charging stations may require applications to expire after 2020.
