‘EV is better for the environment’ as the most common motivation
Due to the limited availability of new cars, more Dutch people are turning to the second-hand market. No fewer than 1 in 10 Dutch people say they are in the market for a used second-hand car. This is evident from research by Autoscout24.nl.
Research carried out by Multiscope on behalf of Autoscout24.nl shows that no less than 13 percent of the Dutch indicate that they want to buy a second-hand electric car. Leasing an electric car is significantly less popular. Only 4 percent of the respondents indicate that they want to lease an EV.
When purchasing a new or used electric car, the Dutch mainly look at the range. 70 percent of those surveyed list driving range as one of the most important points. The loading speed is also high on the list of points for attention. 62 percent of the respondents state the maximum charging speed as one of the most important points. Which badge is on the car turns out to be less relevant. ‘Only’ 50 percent put the brand on their list of determining factors. Just under 40 percent of the respondents take the delivery time into consideration.
It is striking that more than 40 percent of the Dutch indicate that they want to buy an electric car because it would be better for the environment. Just under 27 percent also say they would go for an EV because they would require less maintenance. The existence of the SEPP subsidy scheme is on the list of reasons for wanting to buy an electric car for a quarter of the Dutch.
On Tuesday 10 January, the government will close the cap of a new SEPP subsidy pot. You can receive a financial contribution of €2,950 on the purchase of a new electric car with a catalog value of up to €45,000. The subsidy amount has been set at €2,000 for the purchase of used electric cars. Here you can read everything about the purchase subsidy for a new or used electric car.
