Denmark registered 18,875 new passenger cars in October 2026, and 16,679 of them were electric. That is an EV share of 88.4%, up from 70.6% a year earlier, according to Mobility Denmark, which publishes monthly figures based on registration data from bilstatistik.dk. Among new cars bought by private buyers, the electric share was 97.6%.

Tax Change Ahead
Under current rules, Denmark’s registration tax on electric cars rises on January 1, 2027. Mobility Denmark says the increase will affect many popular family models, and it has asked the government to stop the rise because an expert committee is already reviewing future car taxation. Politicians are expected to negotiate a new model next year.
Buyers bringing purchases forward before a tax change is a common pattern, so the final months of 2026 may look unusually strong. Whatever happens to the tax, the number of EVs on Danish roads keeps growing, and so does the need for home, workplace and shared charging.
What It Means
When almost every private buyer chooses an electric car, the pressure moves to parking: detached homes need a properly installed wallbox, while apartment blocks and employers need shared charging with access control and load management. Three-phase AC at 11 kW or 22 kW covers most daily needs. Our EV-ACT3204E 22 kW wallbox (RFID and app, CE) and the EV-AC03201T dual-connector AC station (two Type 2 connectors, OCPP 1.6J, RFID) serve homes and shared car parks, and the EV-ACS3210E Type 2 portable charger (single-phase, about 7 kW, IP66) gives drivers a flexible option.
