Minister Henk Kamp of Economy refuses from 2025 only selling to allow zero-emission cars. Thus laying a motion that the House late last month had taken on purpose aside. The VVD minister considers it realistic that consumers within ten years alone fully electric vehicles may purchase in the Netherlands.
That makes Camp Friday clear in a letter to parliament. He stores the motion parliamentarian Jan Fox coalition party PvdA in the wind. Kamp refers to the closed in 2013. Energy Accord in which the ambition states that by 2035 all new cars sold in the state be emission-free driving.

Hybrid cars
That not only gives ten years of extra time but also provides room for hybrid cars also have a combustion engine in addition to electric drive . According to the minister would be a tightening of the policy that the government shows an unreliable partner for the parties who signed the Energy Agreement.
legal impossible
Kamp also says that it is legally impossible only at such short notice yet zero-emission cars to leave the market. All vehicles that have obtained approval in an EU member state may be sold in the Netherlands. A ban on petrol or diesel cars is contrary to the internal market.
Practical infeasible
in addition, the Minister considers the objective of the motion practically unfeasible. Today there are over 90,000 electric cars in the Netherlands. That number has increased by 95% in 2015 compared to the previous year. Approximately 10% of these vehicles are fully electric.
Load Items
Het number of (semi-) public charging points has grown to 18,000. Thereby Netherlands already belongs to the world in terms of density of electric transport. The ambition to have an electric power train in 2020. 10% of new car sales have been concerned all what Camp ‘strong’ enough.
