How is this overview put together?
Models of the Chinese brands in our overview (BYD; our data has no origin field, so this list is the whole definition) with at least one fully electric or plug-in hybrid version, ranked by new registrations in 2026 (RDW). The count is for all versions of the model together (every powertrain), not only the versions in this overview; a model that also has other powertrains is marked.
We only rank the 47 new models of the 10 brands in our own overview, not every car in the Netherlands. A value no official source confirms is not used; the model is then not counted.
