In August, the passenger car market in the Netherlands was down 17% year-over-year and 36% compared to 2019, but plug-ins were able to maintain growth.

The total number of new passenger plug-in registrations amounted to 6,637 (up about 17%), which is enough for 30% of the market.

About two thirds of all plug-ins are all-electric cars (20% of overall market share), while plug-in hybrids take one third (10% of the market).

Model rank

The not-so-young Kia Niro EV (e-Niro) continues to excel in the Netherlands with another outstanding result of 753 units in August, which is significantly more than any other plug-in. The Niro EV is also the #1 year-to-date, ahead of Skoda Enyaq iV.

The next two results are Skoda Enyaq iV (487) and Ford Mustang Mach-E (437) and those three cars are also among the top six best-selling cars in the country for the month.

The Volkswagen ID.3 (148) has finally appeared in the top 10 plug-in rank and the Tesla Model Y (MIC) emerges with 127 units.
