Are you saying that registration taxes in Denmark amount to tens of thousands of dollars?



> electric car dealers were for a long time spared the jaw-dropping import tax of 180 percent that Denmark applies on vehicles fueled by a traditional combustion engine

Yes. A new car is subject to a registration tax of 105%, or 150% over ~$16,000. New cars in Denmark are very, very expensive.

Yeah, they do. Luxury cars are taxed heavily in Denmark. Import tax on new cars can be up to 180%. After removing the subsidy on EVs, Tesla prices became comparable to other cars and sales dropped sharply.
