Frequently Asked Questions
What is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
TCO is the complete cost of owning and operating a vehicle over its ownership period. This includes purchase price, depreciation, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and energy costs. For electric vehicles in the Netherlands, specific tax benefits like lower BPM, no road tax, and reduced bijtelling can significantly lower the TCO.
How accurate are the TCO calculations?
Our calculations are based on current Dutch tax regulations, realistic energy prices, and real-world data from thousands of EV drivers. We regularly update our data and use multiple sources to ensure accuracy. Actual costs may vary depending on personal usage, charging habits, and local energy rates.
What EV incentives are available in 2025?
In 2025, electric vehicles benefit from: 0% BPM (purchase tax), reduced road tax (MRB: 25% of normal rate with 75% discount), reduced bijtelling (17-22% depending on catalog price), and MIA/Vamil for business users. Note: SEPP subsidy ended December 2024. Provincial opcenten surcharges still apply to MRB.
What's the difference between business and private EV ownership?
Business EV ownership offers extra benefits like lower bijtelling (17-22% for EVs vs 22% for gasoline), MIA/Vamil deduction, and VAT recovery on purchase and charging costs. Private owners benefit from no BPM and reduced road tax (75% MRB discount in 2025). The TCO can be up to 40% lower for business drivers due to these combined benefits.
