het elektrisch aangedreven voertuig

Translation

electrically driven vehicle

A motor vehicle driven solely by an electric motor whose traction energy comes from a traction battery installed in the vehicle (art. 1.1 Regeling voertuigen). The word solely is what distinguishes it from a hybrid. For traffic what matters most is that such a vehicle is almost silent at low speed; that is why the rules prescribe an acoustic vehicle alerting system.
