A study in Transport Policy in 2025 using Dutch car data from 2018-2020 examined household adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), focusing on full-electric (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). It revealed that individuals with higher income and education levels are more likely to adopt BEVs and PHEVs. These types of electric cars are observed more frequently in households that own two cars compared to those with only one car, where they are less likely to be the sole vehicle. A significant finding is that these electric vehicles are primarily leased or company cars, rather than being privately purchased. Geographically, the adoption of EVs, particularly BEVs, shows a strong concentration in urban areas within the Netherlands. The study also noted a trend from 2018-2019 to 2020 indicating that the demographic profile of BEV and PHEV adopters, especially in two-car households, has begun to widen, becoming less strictly linked to high education and urban location. This increasing adoption is influenced by factors such as growing environmental awareness, reduced operating costs, government incentives, and improvements in EV technology and charging infrastructure. The research highlights the need for targeted policies and expanded charging networks to promote more inclusive EV adoption across different population groups.
