Sales volume of Tesla cars in the Netherlands 2012-2023
Tesla sold around 19,400 cars in the Netherlands in 2023. The American automobile manufacturer sold close to 31,000 units in 2019, their highest sales volume in the country so far. This marked a significant increase compared to the previous years, and the result could be seen in the market share of Tesla in the Netherlands. In recent years, Tesla's sales volume and share of the Dutch market have significantly decreased.
Tesla Model 3 in the lead
Considering the ranking of fully electric car fleet by model, Tesla’s Model 3 was the clear leader by the end of July 2024, with nearly 49,500 registrations. Comparing it to the third car model in the fleet, Kia Niro, the Model 3 boasted nearly 27,300 more vehicles in circulation.
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 in 2019. 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.
