Might have something to do with countries cutting the subsidies for electric cars. I know in Denmark the price of a Tesla is set to more than double in the next years as they normalice registration taxes which were previously omitted on electric cars.
- jjeaff 9y agoAre you saying that registration taxes in Denmark amount to tens of thousands of dollars?
- rtuulik 9y agoYeah, 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.
- jdietrich 9y agoYes. A new car is subject to a registration tax of 105%, or 150% over ~$16,000. New cars in Denmark are very, very expensive. http://www.skm.dk/skattetal/satser/satser-og-beloebsgraenser/registreringsafgiftsloven http://www.skm.dk/skattetal/satser/satser-og-beloebsgraenser...
