Development of e-mobility
in the Netherlands at a glance
Dutch Sustainable Mobility Objectives
• All new registered cars: zero emission in 2035
• Total car park zero-emission in 2050
• In 2050: 60% less CO2 emission (1990) (overall goal in transport)
E-mobility objectives
• 200.000 e-cars (FEV & PHEV) in 2020
• Nationwide network of charging points
• A growing sector of EV related products & services
Governmental support within E-mobility
• Substantial fiscal incentives
• E-laad provided the role-out of the basic charging infrastructure in the
first years
• Support roll out of charging infrastructure, Green Deal Public
Infrastructure (National government co-funding scheme)
• Living labs (proeftuinen)
• Stimulating (international) business development
• Subsidy scheme for low emission taxis and vans

Netherlands
• No registration tax for
cars with low CO2
• Less tax on profit when
a company invests in
environmental friendly
products (7 - 9%
advantage over ICE)
• Companies allowed to
depreciate EV’s faster,
resulting in interest
advantage.
• No annual circulation
tax (road tax)
• Income tax is lowered
for private use of
company cars (benefit
in kind)
Germany
• Compensation for
battery costs in
calculating taxes for
company cars =
additional cost due to
battery does not
increase the tax
• No annual circulation

The Netherlands is a unique international
market for electric mobility
• Flat: highest hill is appr. 300 m above sealevel
• Densely populated: 16,5 mln inhabitants on a surface of 41.528 km2 (6x city of Shanghai)
• closely linked urban areas: big majority does not drive more than 100km on a regular day
• Heavy traffic: The Netherlands has the largest number of car km’s per km2 per year, 84% uses the car to go to work
with an average travel of 20 km (single distance)
• Environmental care: CO2 contribution of road traffic is expected to grow with 10% between 2010 and 2020. The
Dutch population share the environmental concerns where electric driving appeals as an interesting technology
• Open market: The Netherlands is an open market to newcomers, particularly when they offer high value in niche
markets. There are no large Dutch OEM’s in passenger vehicles
• Consumer acceptance: relatively high rate of consumer acceptance of clean vehicles in The Netherlands
• High political organisation level with a dedicated task force Formula E-team

Local & regional initiatives (some examples)
Schiphol
• 167 Tesla taxi’s;
• Exclusive
permission to pick-
up passengers
from the Arrival’s
terminal;
• Innovative ‘rapid
charging parks’
near Schiphol area;
Electric public transport examples
• 6 Full Electric Busses at
Schiermonnikoog;
• Shuttle services from
harbor to tourist hotspots;
• Electric Bus
‘s Hertogenbosch;
• P&R > city center shuttle;
• Induction charging;
• 35 BYD Full Electric busses;
• Passenger handling;
• Solar energy charging in
custom made bus terminal;
• Small battery pack:
o Short distances
(< 200km / day)
o Higher employability
due to short charging
time

NRW-meets-NL
‘’Initialization of cross-border projects, exchanges of
information and experiences between NRW and NL’’
2014 Themes
• Heavy Duty co-operation in business and innovation:
o Application in NRW of “Groene Cockpit” (Hands-on TCO-model for
Busses and Trucks. Developed in Arnhem, Maastricht and Venlo);
o E-Busses: Sharing experience & creating business opportunities in NRW
cities;
o Heavy Duty electric truck / hydrogen range extended, innovation
partnerships > cross-border application;
• Cross border initiatives on e-car sharing (challenge!)
• Evaluate the options for cross-border application of the concept of multi-modal
e-hubs (Aachen)
2014 Themes
• Charging infrastructure:
o Strategic mapping of future proof, demand driven and economic
sustainable charging infrastructure (ENEVATE / Limburg methodology);
o Interoperability based on the experience in the NL, to enable cross-
border commuting, including fast charging corridors;
o Facilitating bilateral business opportunities for producers and service
providers of charging infrastructure for both NRW and NL companies;
o Application in cross-border e-mobility projects of the German experience
with sustainable energy and storage;
o Exchange of experience on experiments in NRW on “one price per KW”
model for (public) charging, for sustainable energy “prosumers”;
Wrap-up
• Target
o ‘’Initialization of cross-border projects, exchanges of information and
experiences between NRW and NL’’
• Results
