In 2023, the Netherlands imports electric vehicles (including hybrid vehicles) from China worth 1.1 billion euros, 13 times more than in 2022. Most electric vehicles come from Germany (4.3 billion euros), an increase of about 50% over the previous year.
About two-thirds of China’s imported electric vehicles do not enter the Dutch market. This involves quasi-transit trade (foreign capital transit), which means that after arriving in the Netherlands, the goods are transported to another country as their final destination. If transit trade is excluded, the import value is 400 million euros, and China is the fourth largest supplier to the Netherlands in 2023, after Germany, Belgium and South Korea.

16% of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) come from China
In 2023, a total of 16% of hybrid and pure electric cars imported into the Netherlands come from China. This is up from 3% in 2022. However, China’s share of the Dutch car market actually decreases, as many of these cars are sold to other countries. This share is smaller in terms of import value than in number of cars imported, as Chinese cars are relatively cheap. The vast majority of cars exported from China to the Netherlands are electric. In 2023, China’s share of Dutch car imports is 7%, and 3% excluding quasi-transit trade.

Most vehicles are still non-electric, but electric vehicles are on the rise
In 2023, the Netherlands imported more than 750,000 passenger cars, of which almost 250,000 were immediately shipped abroad due to foreign ownership. Of the remaining more than 500,000 cars, 63% were petrol or diesel cars, 22% were fully electric cars and 15% were hybrid cars. In 2022, more hybrid cars (17%) were shipped than fully electric cars (16%). Five years ago, in 2017, almost all cars imported into the Netherlands (94%) were non-electric cars. That year, 5% of cars were hybrid cars and 1% were fully electric cars.
At the beginning of 2024, there are nearly 1.3 million pure electric and hybrid cars in the Netherlands, an increase of 31% compared to January 2023. Now, one in seven passenger cars in the Netherlands is a pure electric or hybrid car. This accounts for more than two thirds (68%) of all new passenger cars sold in 2023.
