The new center-left government of Denmark is not popular today, as it seeks to finance its election promises in the 2027 budget. Climate conscious voters who voted for them, now see their government putting more taxes on electric cars. Until now, only the most expensive EVs were taxed, but the price threshold is now lowered. So from next year, ordinary cars like a VW ID.4 Style will get a purchase tax increase of $2000 — potentially making more people keep their gas guzzler longer.
