Netherlands Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The Netherlands electric vehicle charging stations market was evaluated at US$198.700 million for the year 2020, growing at a CAGR of 22.77%, reaching a market size of US$835.301 million by the year 2027.

A charging station for electric vehicles (EVs) is a device that links an EV to a power source, allowing electric cars, neighbourhood EVS, and plug-in hybrids to be charged. While some charging stations include advanced capabilities such as smart metering, cellular connectivity, and network connectivity, others are more basic. The electric vehicle business is quickly expanding around the world, particularly in the Netherlands.

The market for electric car charging is a fast-paced business with a wide range of applications. The Netherlands has long been renowned as an environmentally conscious country that encourages its residents to protect its natural resources. The environmentally vulnerable Dutch are pioneering electric vehicles with the most charging points in Europe. The ACEA's map of electric vehicle charging facilities explains it all. Despite being Europe's 31st largest country, the Netherlands has the continent's largest number of electric car charging stations, with over 80,000. Its currently unrivalled charging infrastructure (CI) density foreshadows what other markets should expect in the future. The Dutch government has actively promoted EV adoption through economic incentives and CI since the third electric era began more than a decade ago. As a result, even though electric vehicles were still in their infancy in 2010, the country already had 400 charging stations, which increased to 1,841 the following year. The Dutch government has taken a proactive approach to EV policy and has installed a significant number of EV chargers. As a result, it maintains its position as the world leader in terms of electric cars and charger density per 100 kilometres.

The Dutch government launched a new electric automobile subsidy program on June 4th, 2020. Van Veldhoven, the State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, states that the scheme's primary goal is to make environmentally responsible driving more accessible to consumers by incentivizing the purchase of new or used EVs rather than ICEs. Furthermore, the aforementioned should aid in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of air quality. These reasons have resulted in a surge in electric vehicle sales and manufacturing around the world. To ensure that the rising fleet of electric automobiles runs properly, charging stations and established power infrastructure are required. As a result, these factors are linked to the market's expansion over the forecasted period.

Furthermore, tight government car emission rules have encouraged consumers to switch to electric vehicles, which will help the electric charging station industry grow in the coming years. Moreover, the market expansion would be aided by advances in communications technology such as real-time information on all-electric automobile charging stations for smart connectivity.

However, in certain regions of the Netherlands, commercial charging stations are still few, forcing consumers to rely on charging options available at their offices and residences. Furthermore, the growing number of electric cars may have an impact on charging station functionality, such as the quantity of power generated, the transformer load level, and the load curve.

Because of the rising use of electric vehicles, the AC Level 1 and Level 2 sectors are likely to dominate the electric vehicle charging station market. Charging with alternating current (AC) is often referred to as level 1 or level 2 charging. An in-car inverter converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which subsequently charges the battery at either level . The majority of electric car drivers in the Netherlands charge their vehicles at home or work using AC power. As more EVs enter the market, this is projected to stimulate demand for AC charging, which will be aided by government restrictions.

By type, the HEV category dominates the market, accounting for a sizable revenue share. The HEV provides a dual-fuel and electric driving option, which is particularly beneficial in locations where charging infrastructure is limited. The demand for electric battery vehicles is increasing as private companies and governments seek to build a global network of charging infrastructure to encourage the use of renewable energy. Furthermore, the PHEV market is growing steadily. The demand for these vehicles is expected to increase in future years as their prices fall.

This market is divided into commercial and residential segments depending on the application. The residential usage segment currently leads the EV charging station market and is anticipated to do so for the foreseeable future. This is due to the growing popularity of EVS and the expanding number of charging stations. Furthermore, the commercial market is anticipated to see significant expansion, aided by increased government financing for the development of public charging stations, in coming years.

Over the projection period, the Netherlands is expected to develop significantly in this market. The Netherlands has served as a test platform for widespread electric vehicle adoption in Europe. The Netherlands has implemented extremely successful incentive measures, lowering the cost of owning an electric automobile to the same level as owning a conventional car. Furthermore, the government has announced that starting in 2030, only emissions-free vehicles will be able to be registered for the first time. In June 2019, the Netherlands signed a National Agreement. They've also signed the International Climate Agreement, indicating that they're serious about national electrification. The National Agreement included a €250 million incentive to increase the use of electric vehicles.

COVID-19 Impact

COVID-19 has boosted the market for electric vehicle charging stations in the Netherlands. According to the Global EV Outlook 2021, large expenditures by state and local governments, as well as utilities, had enough of an impact on the EV charging market. Purchase incentives increased in early 2020. As a result, sales of electric vehicles in Europe grew by 55% in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. In Europe, fast chargers are being installed at a faster rate than slow chargers. There are almost 38,000 public fast chargers available. The infrastructure for charging electric cars (EVs) on interstate highways, at businesses, and in public parking lots has increased in tandem with their popularity. At the end of 2020, the average public EVSE per EV ratio in the European Union was 0.09. At 0.22, the Netherlands is above the target.

Recent Development

Hyundai Motor Group and We Drive Solar have partnered to help establish an entirely bi-directional region in Cartesius, a Dutch development sector near Utrecht. To begin with, We Drive Solar has outfitted 25 Hyundai IONIQ 5 BEVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which will allow them to transfer power back to homes and businesses in the area during peak energy hours.

Non-Tesla owners can charge their electric vehicles at any Supercharger site in the Netherlands, as announced by Tesla in February 2022. The news represents the extension of a 10-station test program that began in November 2021.
