An electric SUV expensive? Well no
Because the government considers it important to stimulate the purchase of electric cars, they provide various subsidies such as the Subsidy for Electric Passenger Cars Private Individuals, abbreviated SEPP. You can be eligible for this subsidy from 1 July 2020 to 1 July 2025. 67 million euros has been reserved for new cars and 20.4 million euros for used electric cars. But beware: if the money pot for that year is empty, then it stops! So be on time with applying for this purchase subsidy.
By the way, buying an electric SUV does not have to be expensive, even without a subsidy. Fortunately, because the range of electric cars in general and also the segment of electric SUVs has increased, these are no longer outrageously expensive. Especially when you delve into the world of used electric SUVs.
Did you know that you can also easily buy a good used car online? Salespeople who try to persuade you or feel pressured during negotiations at the car dealership are a thing of the past. You can easily compare the offer at home and the car of your choice will be delivered to your home, including BOVAG warranty and 14 days to change your mind. View the range of electric SUVs!
