What the code gets you in Netherlands
Dutch buyers are in the continental Supercharging tier, around 2,000 km on a new Model 3 or Model Y after Tesla doubled the European figure at the end of April 2026. The Netherlands is also the cheapest place in Europe to actually spend it, which cuts in an unexpected direction: the same reward is worth less here in money than almost anywhere else on the continent, because the electricity it replaces is cheap to begin with.
Model S / Model X: Model S and Model X buyers typically receive Tesla account credit (around €500) instead of Supercharging.
What that reward is actually worth in Netherlands
2,000 km at 14–18 kWh/100 km is roughly 280–360 kWh. At Dutch Supercharger rates of €0.22–€0.26 that is about €62–€94. That is genuinely one of the larger referral rewards relative to what else is on offer here, because the Netherlands no longer has a national purchase subsidy at all. With SEPP closed, the Dutch money is now almost entirely on the tax side — BPM exemption, the shrinking MRB discount, and bijtelling for company cars.

Applying it on Tesla's Netherlands store
The link opens Tesla’s Netherlands store with prices in EUR. Order of operations is the same in every market — link first, then confirm the reward in the order summary before paying — and is set out screen by screen in the how-it-works guide.
The referrer's side: The referrer also receives roughly 2,000 km of free Supercharging (or Tesla Credits up to about €500). Full referrer terms.
Netherlands EV incentives that stack with the code
None of the schemes below affect referral eligibility, or vice versa. Statuses are dated because several change mid-year.
| Scheme | Amount and how it works |
|---|---|
| SEPP purchase subsidy Ended · checked August 31, 2026 |
closed — no longer available The scheme most Dutch EV guides still quote. It ran from 2020 to 2025 and is closed: you cannot apply for a purchase or private-lease subsidy on a new electric car in 2026. The €2,950 you will see quoted was the 2024 new-car amount. There is no national purchase subsidy for private buyers any more — if a page offers you one, it has not been rechecked since 2025. Verify at RVO — SEPP |
| BPM exemption Live · checked August 31, 2026 |
registration tax not charged Battery-electric cars are exempt from BPM, the Dutch registration tax that is levied on CO₂ emissions. This is invisible on the invoice precisely because it is never added. Verify at Belastingdienst |
| MRB road tax discount Being reduced · checked August 31, 2026 |
30% discount for 2026–2028 The Dutch EV road-tax break is shrinking, and this is the change most Dutch pages have not caught up with: from 2026 through 2028 electric cars get a 30% discount, meaning you pay 70% of the normal rate rather than a token amount. Because an EV's weight drives MRB, a heavier Model Y costs more here than the discount headline suggests. Verify at Belastingdienst — MRB |
| Bijtelling (company cars) Live · checked August 31, 2026 |
favourable rate for EVs The addition-to-income rate for private use of a company EV remains lower than for a combustion car, which is why so much Dutch Tesla volume is business lease rather than private purchase. |
Ordering in Netherlands: the thing that actually catches people out
With no purchase subsidy left, the Dutch variables are the tax ones — and the MRB discount is on a published downward path, so the year you register matters. Don't waste time hunting for a purchase grant that no longer exists; check the BPM and MRB treatment for the exact trim, then attach the referral link, which takes seconds and interacts with none of it.
