On 1 January 2025, the registration tax on electric cars will increase

For the fourth time since an agreement on car taxes from December 2020, the registration tax on electric cars in Denmark is increasing. It will happen on 1 January 2025.

For the fourth time in nearly four years, the government is raising the registration tax on electric cars in Denmark. To be precise, it will happen on January 1, 2025.

However, this is a minimal increase of DKK 11,427, and the vast majority of car buyers will not actually have to pay the higher tax at all.

Because only electric cars with a new price above DKK 436,500 are affected by the increase. To put it into perspective, a brand like Volkswagen charges from DKK 334,000 for the ID.4, which is Denmark's most popular electric car at the moment.

However, the increase in the registration tax on electric cars will be the same in 2025 – i.e. 11,427 – regardless of whether the car costs DKK 435,501 or DKK 800,000. It looks different for the plugin hybrids.

The cars, which must be charged in order to run as long as possible on the litre, increase in registration tax depending on how much they cost at that time. For example, a plug-in hybrid rises to DKK 250,000 with DKK 9,750 after New Year.

For the same reason, the interest organization FDM recommends to its members, who are faced with the purchase of a new car, that the contract states when the car must be delivered at the latest.

If it only happens after 1 January 2025, you will end up with a car that has become more expensive in terms of registration tax. The plan is that by 2035 at the latest, there must not be a single kroner discount on either pure electric cars, hybrids or plug-in hybrids.

However, the prospect of electric cars becoming significantly more expensive causes parts of the industry to fear that Danes will lose interest in electric cars. Read more about it here .

Interest has also already subsided outside Denmark's borders. Just over the other side of the southernmost border crossing, electric car sales have collapsed for the seventh month in a row.

After Germany's government removed all public support for the electric car in December 2023 to patch holes in the state coffers, interest in the car type has only continued to decline. A car brand is actually trying to keep sales alive by giving away two cars for the price of one car. Read more about it here.
