The electric vehicle (EV) market in the Netherlands continues to thrive, with battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) capturing a larger share of the new car registrations. According to recent data, BEVs held a 15.6% share of new car registrations across the EU in the first half of 2025, with the Netherlands reporting a 6.1% increase in BEV registrations during this period [2][3][4]. By July 2025, BEVs in the Netherlands achieved a market share of about 30.8%, complemented by plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) at 51.8%, showing strong electrification trends [5].
Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 remain among the top-selling electric vehicles in the Netherlands. In February 2025, Tesla's Model Y ranked third in new EV registrations, alongside the Model 3 also being one of the top five best-selling models earlier in the year, indicating Tesla’s strong presence in the Dutch EV market [1]. However, Tesla faces growing competition from European brands. Models like the Škoda Elroq ranked second in June 2025, and the Volvo EX30 was the fourth best-seller by registrations in February 2025 [1].
In November 2023, the Tesla Model Y was the top-selling EV in the Netherlands, followed by the Model 3. The Hyundai Kona EV reached 145 registrations in November, while the Skoda Enyaq confirmed its popularity and its best-seller status within VW Group [6]. The Volvo XC40, which was the top-selling EV in October 2023, dropped to third place in November [6].
BMW's i4 fastback and the iX1 crossover ended in seventh and eighth places respectively in the Netherlands' EV market in November. Mercedes-Benz saw its two compact EVs, the EQA and EQB, reach three-digit scores in November [6]. XPeng's G9 posted 72 registrations in the Netherlands' full-size EV segment in November. Volvo's S/V60 PHEVs recorded 253 registrations, a new best in over three years [6].
Stellantis has a 15.8% market share, down from 16.1%, while VW Group has a 15.5% share, and Tesla gained ground on Hyundai Motor Company, with Tesla having 11.5% market share and Hyundai having 11% [6]. Volvo has an 8.5% market share, also up from 8.4% [6]. The Kia Niro surpassed the Skoda Enyaq in registrations, climbing to fifth place [6]. The MG4 ended the month in fifth place in the Netherlands' EV market [6].
In November 2023, the Netherlands' electric vehicle (EV) market saw a 34% year-on-year increase, with a total of 12,902 EVs registered [6]. This growth in the EV market indicates a promising future for electric vehicles in the Netherlands.

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) in the Dutch lifestyle, as demonstrated by the 34% year-on-year increase in 2023, can't be ignored, especially when considering the strong sales performance of brands like Tesla in the country. Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 remain among the top-selling electric vehicles, but technology advancements have brought forth fierce competition from European brands like Škoda and Volvo, whose models regularly rank high in new EV registrations. This competition is expected to further shape the technology landscape and car preferences in the Dutch EV market.
