what the fuel types mean

• ⛽petrol Cheapest to buy, simple, but fuel is expensive in NL.
• 🛢️diesel Frugal on long trips, but NL road tax is much higher and city bans are growing.
• ⚡electric Battery only: cheapest per km and quiet, but you need somewhere to charge. NL road-tax discounts are shrinking.
• 🔌plug-in Bigger battery you charge from a plug; short trips can be fully electric.
