Poor car sales in January probably don't say much about the rest of the year. In any case, the interest organization FDM expects that a new Volvo in particular will be a hit.
Neither sales of electric cars nor car sales in general were noticeable in January this year. In fact, it looked really bad.
Just 8,848 new passenger cars were given number plates last month. But there are several reasons for this. Among other things, many Danish motorists have stopped again in January, because the taxes on electric cars only from February follow the level from last year.
Because the political agreement to keep the taxes on electric cars calm simply could not come into force. Having said that, electric cars are expected to arouse Danes' interest this year as well.
At least the interest organization FDM thinks so. Here, it is especially believed that a certain Volvo, the small EX30, is interesting in a Danish context.

But at Tesla, a number of new models are coming to take their share of the Danish car sales. Last year, the American brand's success meant that new electric cars set a record with 35 percent of total car sales in this country.
However, FDM believes that even more records await when you look at the Danish market for new cars. Already in February and March, sales records can be discussed.
– It is lurking, and it is Volvo and Tesla that will drive sales, says an FDM representative to Ekstra Bladet .
Right now, a new Volvo EX30, of which Volvo has otherwise had to postpone deliveries, costs from DKK 274,100 in Denmark. FDM thinks this is cheap. Although Denmark's cheapest electric car, the MG4, costs DKK 199,999.
