The death of the EV and plug-in hybrid in the examples of calculation

Yesterday was a monsterverbond of interest groups with a cross for the car taxes from 2017. On the basis of the Golf, I will show that the market for plug-ins than death, and even that the success of Tesla to an end.
This phrase from the proposal, there seems to be a bit special for Tesla in included:
Maximise the discount on the surcharge for electric and semi-electric cars on the basis of a maximum list price of € 50,000 (the part of the list price that the amount of 50,000 euros, will be taxed at the standard bijtellingstarief)
A Model S starts just under the 80 mille, and over the last 30 mille, there must be the “top rate” of tax to be paid. If we assume 20%, then the tax for this part is about 6000 euro. Total list price is 9500 euro. For that money plus you can shop in regular cars to a price of 47,500 euro, without the net cost. For a small 50 mille, you can all pretty nice cars to buy, but in the proposal of the ANWB, Bovag, Nature & Environment, RAI Association and the VLNA (Association of Dutch Autoleasemaatschappijen) is also provided in the phasing out of the BPM. Yesterday I saw an Audi A7 drive away and personally, I find it still a pleasure for the eye, so I leave that as an example. A A7 2.0 TFSI costs will without BPM 50 mille. With 252 hp it is also not a thing, so how many people will still go for a Model with more horsepower, but with a much limited range?
Reduction of BPM
EV’s, plug-in hybrids and other granola-cars have now also when purchasing a large tax benefit. The higher the CO2 emissions, the higher the BPM. That is the reason that a Ford Mustang with four-cylinder 50 mille cost, while the same car with a V8 well over the ton. That extra 50 mille to tax should soon go out to expire and that is good news for petrolheads. For the Evangelists, it is less pleasant, because it is still the case that cars with a plug outrageously expensive when compared with cars with only a plofmotor. That was never so, because the plofmotoren be for years, punished with a fair bucket load.
Net price
Golf 1.2 TSI14.591
Golf GTI24.250
Golf GTD26.583
e-Golf29.069
Golf GTE31.244
Golf R32.402
This table speaks for itself, a small comment: these are prices without VAT. In the plans is the bijtellingspercentage for plug-in hybrids (step-by-step) raised to the regular rate. A Golf GTE will have the same list price as a Golf GTI or GTD. You don’t have to raketgeleerde to have to calculate that with a higher price for the GTE also the tax to go higher. Is there still a reason to use a plug-in hybrid to buy?
Also for the e-Golf it does not look good. The bijtellingspercentage would indeed be lower (7%), but the purchase price is also twice as high as that of a Golf 1.2 TSI which is the same power of 115 hp. The tax benefit is already not enough to get people en masse in an electric car to get and the advantage is only less.
The Innovation/EV-fund
In the plans is also provided in an EV-fund of 250 million euros. It is a substantial amount, but have to 200.000 cars with a plug on the road in 2020. So it comes down to 1250 euro per car and now wants it a coincidence that there’s a charging station to the wall is screwed in december. Cost: € 1.425,38. In short: you get the charging station is almost free if you have an EV purchase, and will undoubtedly (still) not enough to private individuals or companies, to seduce, to fully electric driving.
Would you like a plug-in hybrid, than is the case for this year too. From 1 January 2016, the tax on plug-in hybrids with a C02 emissions of under 50 grams already increased from 7% to 15%, in 2017 and beyond will most likely not favour change.
