EVwire brief: Nearly every new passenger car bought by Danish households in July was electric. EVs accounted for 97% of private customer registrations, while electric vehicles represented 80.2% of all new passenger car registrations during the month, according to Mobility Denmark.
A total of 14,562 new passenger cars were registered in July, up 5.5% year over year. Of those, 11,672 were battery-electric vehicles, a 25.8% increase from July 2025. Denmark has now registered 115,580 new passenger cars so far this year, an increase of 11.9% over the same period last year.
Electric cars made up 80.2% of all new registrations in Denmark in July, and 97% among private buyers.
Mobility Denmark said the figures show that electric vehicles have become the default choice for Danish consumers, a trend it attributes largely to favorable tax policies that have kept EVs financially competitive with combustion vehicles.
The electric car has become the natural choice for almost all Danes when they buy a new car. When 97 percent of new cars for private individuals are electric cars, it shows how far the green transition of the car market has come.
Mobility Denmark expects one million EVs on Danish roads by 2027, or about one in three passenger cars.
Context:
Mobility Denmark expects Denmark to reach one million electric cars on the road in 2027, meaning roughly one in three passenger cars would be fully electric. But it warned that the pace of adoption could slow if planned changes to the country's EV tax incentives take effect.
The reduced registration tax on electric vehicles is currently scheduled to be phased out after the New Year, which would make many of Denmark's most popular EV models more expensive. As parliament returns from its summer recess, lawmakers are expected to debate the future of the tax, including proposals to permanently eliminate the registration tax on electric vehicles.
