In mid-July, the lid was closed on the initially 29.4 million euro subsidy pot, which included a budget to make the purchase of a second-hand electric car more attractive. There was not a euro left after a budget had been requested for 14,700 used electric cars. On 4 September, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) announced that it had made new budget available to make the purchase of a second-hand electric car more attractive. It allocated 23.1 million euros for this. Two weeks later, almost 22 percent of this has already been allocated, according to an analysis of the figures by AutoWeek. Of the 23.1 million euros with which the pot was refilled, 5.12 million has already been allocated. So a good 22 percent. You can receive a €2,000 subsidy on a used electric car with an original catalogue value (fiscal price) of a maximum of €45,000. This means that the subsidy pot that was refilled at the beginning of September has already been used 2,560 times. There is still 17.98 million euros available, good for another 8,990 used EVs. Subsidy for new electric cars After this year, the SEPP subsidy scheme will definitely be over and done with. For both new and used electric cars. What is the status of the subsidy pot for new electric cars? Here we go. Of the 58 million euros that was reserved in subsidy budget at the beginning of this year, 38.20 million euros has been allocated at the time of writing. That is 66 percent, or two thirds. You can expect €2,950 for the purchase of a new electric car with a catalogue value of up to €45,000. This means that subsidies have been applied for 12,980 new EVs. There is still 19.71 million euros available for the purchase of new electric cars. This means that there is still budget available for 6,681 new electric cars. As has long been known, the subsidy pot for new EVs is emptied substantially more slowly than that for used electric cars. After all, this subsidy pot has not been ‘topped up’ and is therefore only two-thirds empty.
