How is this overview put together?
Following the recorded search query (“electric car under 40000 euro”) electric cars only: models with a fully electric version priced at €40,000 or less in the price list, ranked by the price of the cheapest such version.
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.
Prices are list prices from the brand’s price list; some brands include the delivery costs and others do not, so prices are not always like for like.
