You are the person who is ignorant as you obviously don't have a clue.
Electric vehicles are exempted from the fuel consumption tax, levied upon the first registration, and from the monthly vehicle tax. In addition to tax breaks, hybrid vehicles and other alternative fuel vehicles benefit from a fuel consumption tax that pays bonuses to passenger cars with low carbon dioxide output. Alternative fuel vehicles, including hybrids, qualify for as much as €800 (around US$1,120) in annual bonuses. This bonus was valid from 1 July 2008 until 31 August 2012.[34][35] Additionally, cars with no carbon emissions qualify for a deduction of the VAT (Value-Added Tax), as of January 2016.
To drive the electrification of the national vehicle fleet, the Dutch government offers strong incentives to reduce the cost for buyers and owners of an electric vehicle. This is especially true for BEVs, which are the focus of the government’s zero-emission transport strategy. Individuals purchasing or leasing a new battery electric passenger car can claim back €4,000 from the government. In the case of a second-hand battery electric car, the amount is €2,000. In addition, owners of a BEV benefit from waivers on the one-time registration tax and annual ownership taxes, or receive a reduction in the case of PHEVs. Conversely, purchasers and owners of conventional combustion engine vehicles are charged vehicle taxes that are particularly high in comparison to other European markets.
A friend of mine looking to buy a Porsche Panamera in the Netherlands would have to pay nearly an extra 100,000 Euro in taxes for a pure ICE vehicle against the hybrid Panamera.
If you don't call that subsidizing then theres no hope for you.
