In 2020, the average price for a new petrol car was approximately 33,900 euros in the Netherlands. Passenger cars with hydrogen electric fuel cells were the most expensive.
Availability of models and segments
Across all segments and fuel types, hybrid vehicles in the upper sports car segment came with the highest price tag. While there is a wide variety of petrol and hybrid vehicle models across all segments, the model range of hydrogen vehicles is very limited. Dutch motorists only purchased about 150 hydrogen vehicles in 2020.
Efforts to go green
The Dutch government promotes zero-emission vehicles, mainly all-electric vehicles but also plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and vehicles with hydrogen electric fuel cells. As a result of these efforts, the market share of electric passenger cars soared to almost 25 percent in 2020. That year, plug-in electric vehicle sales in the Netherlands came to just under 90,000 plug-in electric vehicles.
