You. Believe. The. Not.
Effe nice unsubtle annoy you, because it can. Nature & Environment has researched the CO2 emissions of new lease cars and what happens? Lease cars are dirtier! That was, in fact, no one anticipated when the fiscal benefits for (plug-in) hybrids, and other zuinigheidswonderen disappeared, and everyone from 1 January 2017, the same rate of pay. Apart from drivers of pure EV’s is indeed that, because the lease at 4% instead of 22% tax liability.
In addition, Nature & the Environment are of great concern to the occasionmarkt, because that’s ultimately where all that waste leasebakken. Their conclusion: since the Dutch fleet again more and more dirty, it is almost impossible to meet the climate deal Paris to meet. Coal-fired power plants, anyone?
Yet N&M a tip and that covers the difference between consumption figures on paper and in practice. That discrepancy is growing, and that’s awkward. Especially if you want to know how far a certain EV’s really can get on a full battery charge. The organization advocates for uniform European legislation that puts an end to the (growing) difference between theory and practice, but in the meantime, no news more welcome.
Moreover, there are also benefits to the low theoretical consumption figures, as, for example, in the Netherlands are used to adjust the height of the transfer taxes to be determined. The lower the outcome on the NEDC cycle, the less BPM. Ultimately, it is the environment or the Jack.
