The market share of electric vehicles in Denmark has exceeded 80%

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in Denmark. In the first half of 2025, almost 64% of all new passenger cars in the country were electric, with the figure reaching nearly 82% among private buyers.

In total, from January to June 2025, 89,547 new passenger cars were registered in Denmark, which is an increase of 3.8% compared to the same period last year. Of these, 57,171 are electric cars, representing an increase of almost 47% year-on-year. The share of electric vehicles in the market reached 63.8%, while a year ago it was 45%.

The share of electric vehicles among private buyers is growing especially quickly: in June, electric models accounted for almost 86% of all private registrations.

"Demand for electric vehicles was high in 2024, and now it has grown even stronger - especially among private owners," noted Mads Rørvig, CEO of Mobility Denmark. - "This is an important step towards achieving climate goals, as electric vehicles do not emit CO₂, and this is a direction that needs to be preserved".

Rørvig also urged the authorities to reform taxation: "Politicians should consider creating a new, simpler model of vehicle taxation that will be advantageous for everyone and provide stable support for the green transition".

According to bilstatistik.dk, the most popular models in the first half of 2025 were:

1. Skoda Elroq - 4,782 units.
2. Volkswagen ID.4 - 4,161 units.
3. Tesla Model Y - 3,101 units.

The list also included Volkswagen ID.3, Skoda Enyaq iV, and Toyota bZ4X. All of them are battery electric vehicles.
