When I lived in the Netherlands a couple years ago, I was fascinated by the large number of electric charging stations everywhere. The highest density in the world, as I recall reading somewhere.
I love the Netherlands.
Fortunately, they're greatly outnumbered by the bicycles. ;)
It's mostly due to the very attractive tax benefits the government gives on EVs.
That's not what your link says. It says 6.87%.
These are mostly cars bought under a lease contract since thet are way too expensive in the Netherlands. (65k euro).
The government stopped a big benefit end last year. So there was a run on these Teslas.
If you have an electric car the goverment will out a charging pole in your street for free.
Also they are going to van cars altogether in the city center.
Streets are being repurposed for broad bike lanes. And the goverment is planning bike higjways between cities due to the rise of electric bikes thay go 50kmph.

I can’t find data, but I’ve heard the argument that is because the Netherlands is big in manufacturers of electric charging stations.
