Wow, 8k is nothing! Well, a used Leaf with around 50-60000 kilometers, 2015., is 15 000 dollars+ in Denmark. Interesting thing is, if you didn't know, Denmark has 70%-180% taxes on cars. Reality is that the base car prices are lower(ed) so the end price is not as high as people expect. Electric cars were exempt from taxes until Tesla came and messed things up (people bought model S instead of nice beemers, audies as they got more car for buck...Danish government didn't like that). Now the tax is 20% with planned increase, as Danish welfare system, unlike Norway's (similar taxation policy), can't afford losing future tax revenue (quoting Danish government). So logic dictates, rate of electric car price decrease has to be same or higher (abs) as tax increase in order to make average Jørgen decide to go electric.
