FDM now demands that the state supports electric cars more than is the case today.
Specifically, the interest organization demands that the state throw even more subsidy kroner at especially the smaller and cheaper electric cars. If this does not happen, FDM fears that an A and a B team of motorists will emerge.
That is why the organization has also started a campaign with the claim called 'How more Danes – and the environment – get better benefit from electric car subsidies.'
– We doubt that the electric car will really make a popular breakthrough if the many Danes who do not have DKK 300,000-500,000 for a new electric car have to make do with half a load, says FDM's managing director, Stina Glavind.

Conversely, De Danske Bilimportorer also believes that the carrot is no longer enough to lure Danes into electric cars. A whip is needed. In fact, the Danes just have to adjust, says Mads Rorvig. Read more about it here.
The latest agreement on car taxes is back from December 2020. It means, with small adjustments along the way, that the taxes on electric cars will rise again in 2026. And in 2035 there must not be a single krone in tax rebates on electric cars.
