Electric cars have strengthened their dominance in the new car market in Denmark. In the first half of 2025, 89,547 passengers were recorded recently across all types of driving, which represents an increase of 3.8 percent compared to the same period last year. Among them, 57171 cars were electric cars, which represents an increase of 47 percent on an annual basis. This translates into an EV market share of 63.8 percent, an increase of 45 percent in the first half of 2024.
Among the private users, the preference of electric cars for batteries was stronger. More than 80 percent of the new passenger cars recorded between January and June were electrical, as the number reached nearly 86 percent in June alone.
“There was a great demand for electric cars in 2024, and we can see that interest has grown only this year, especially among ordinary individuals who truly embraced the electric car,” said MADIS Denmark. “This is a development that makes Denmark closer to climate targets, because electric cars do not emit carbon dioxide, and therefore it is also a development that we must protect.”
The CEO also called for political measures to maintain momentum towards carbon removal. “Politicians should consider how a new car tax model creates a simpler system that will benefit everyone and always support the green transition,” Rorrevig stated.
According to Bilstatistik.dk data published by Mobility Denmark, the best -selling models in the first half of 2025 were Skoda Elroq (4,782 units), Volkswagen ID.4 (4,161), and Tesla Model Y (3,101). Other high performance included the Volkswagen 3 ID, Skoda Enyaq IV and Toyota Bz4X, all of which are electrical compounds for batteries, confirming the strong EV direction in the passenger car market in Denmark.
