Netherlands: Plug-In Car Share Reached 39% In November 2021
Skoda Enyaq iV has become the top-selling model for the month (regardless of the powertrain) and #1 plug-in model year-to-date.
The Netherlands continues to experience a shrinking automotive market with new registrations in November, 18% lower than a year ago.
On the contrary, the plug-in electric car segment is growing, even against the overall trend, and November 2020 - inflated by "CO2 fleet mandates + fiscal changes."
In November, 10,613 new plug-in electric cars were registered (up 7% year-over-year), which is 39% of the total market (28% for BEVs), the new best result for the year and the best November ever.
All-electric cars are in the majority, taking some 69% of all plug-in registrations for the month, and roughly 60% year-to-date.
