‘Electric drivers will contribute more fairly’
In the market for a new or second-hand electric car? Then be quick. As of 2025, there will no longer be subsidies to make the purchase of a new or used electric car more attractive.
In April, the Spring Memorandum showed that the SEPP subsidy scheme for used electric cars will expire as of 2025. However, that was not yet definitive. In the so-called Main Line Agreement, the PVV, VVD, NSC and BBB have agreed that subsidies for both new and used electric cars will stop as of 2025. So the SEPP subsidy scheme is over.
The new cabinet does indicate in the agreement that ‘sustainability of the vehicle fleet will continue to be encouraged’. For example, the MRB weight correction will continue to exist. The parties do not forget the people who – for whatever reason – do not have an electric car. The new cabinet says that it ‘keeps an eye on the fossil driver’ and that it wants ‘a fair distribution of costs between both groups’. The parties want ‘the electric driver to contribute more fairly to keeping returns sustainable in the long term.’ The plans are – as the name of the agreement indicates – final, but their exact details are not yet finalized.
