Passenger cars by fuel type
27% of passenger cars do not run on petrol (diesel, LPG, electric etc.), against 22% in the municipality of Nieuwkoop (2025).
Petrol72.7%
Other fuel (diesel, LPG, electric etc.)27.3%
Explanation
CBS splits passenger cars into 'petrol' and 'other fuel' only. That second category bundles diesel, LPG, electric (including hybrid), hydrogen, alcohol, LNG and CNG together — CBS publishes no separate electric-car count per buurt, wijk or gemeente, so this is not the same as an 'electric share'.
Source: CBS Kerncijfers wijken en buurten (KWB) 2025
Share on other fuel per year
The share of passenger cars not running on petrol went from 27% to 27% between 2024 and 2025.
