Passenger car sales in the Netherlands increased in October by 20% year-over-year (to almost 29,000), which means that the overall market outpaced the plug-in car segment.
According to EV Volumes’ data, shared by Jose Pontes, last month 9,758 new plug-ins were registered, which is roughly 17% more than a year ago and 34% of all new registrations.
That’s not a bad result, considering the current challenging situation in Europe. Interestingly, both all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars contributed to growth.
New plug-in car registrations:
- BEVs: 6,408 (up 12%) and 22% share
- PHEVs: 3,350 (up 28%) and 12% share
- Total: 9,758 (up 17%) and 34% share
So far this year, 82,225 plug-in electric cars were registered in the Netherlands, which is about 33% more than a year ago and about 32% of the total market.

The biggest revelation for October was the Lynk & Co 01 PHEV, which with 707 new registrations, was not only the top plug-in model but also 7th overall.
This outstanding result allowed it to also secure the first position year-to-date, just ahead of the Skoda Enyaq iV. The difference between the two is just 47 units (4,494 to 4,447) so the race is still on.
The next best-selling plug-in model last month was the all-electric Volvo XC40 Recharge (521), followed by the Opel Mokka EV (300) and BMW i4 (297). The fifth Volkswagen ID.4 noted its best result so far this year – 292.
