Sales volume of Tesla cars in the Netherlands 2012-2020
Tesla Model 3 in the lead
Considering the ranking of fully registered electric cars by model, Tesla’s Model 3 was the clear leader by the end of 2020, with over 38,000 registrations. Comparing it to the runner-up, Hyundai Kona, there were around 24,000 more registered units of the number one model. The Tesla Model S had roughly 12,800 registrations and closed the top three.
Tax increase has major impact on Tesla
The Dutch government introduced new tax rules on leased electric cars with a value of more than 50,000 euros. This has had a major effect on the sales of Tesla and other luxurious electric vehicles and resulted in a decrease in the sales volume of the Tesla Model X and the Model S.
