Not just Amsterdam, but basically everywhere in the Netherlands. In 2019, 30% of new cars sold in the Netherlands were Teslas [0]
It's mostly due to the very attractive tax benefits the government gives on EVs.

- Avalaxy 7y ago> 30% of new cars sold in the Netherlands were Teslas That's not what your link says. It says 6.87%.
- dmytrish 7y agoCorrection: 30 thousand new cars (6.9%), not 30%.
- LeonM 7y agoYou are right, I read that graph wrong
- TeeWEE 7y agoActually you mostly see Teslas in cities like Amsterdam. This year I saw a huge growth in the numbers of Model 3s on Amstrrdam streets. i would say 1 in every 15 cars is a Tesla. These are mostly cars bought under a lease contract since thet are way too expensive in the Netherlands. (65k euro). The government stopped a big benefit end last year. So there was a run on these Teslas. If you have an electric car the goverment will out a charging pole in your street for free. Also they are going to van cars altogether in the city center. Streets are being repurposed for broad bike lanes. And the goverment is planning bike higjways between cities due to the rise of electric bikes thay go 50kmph.
