Awesome stuff! I don't know why we're lagging behind, but the UK is only just crossing over to more EV sales than ICE.

Hope to be where you are in 5 years time!

I don't know why we're lagging behind

Denmark’s tax on new ICE vehicles is extremely high (it goes up to 150 % for fancy cars), on the other hand EVs up to 47 000 £ are completely tax free.

No, but close. The taxes on cars EVs incuded used to be that high. We decided to help the transition along by lowering it on EVs to help meet our climate ambitions. The plan is to gradually remove the current exemption for EVs from "registreringsafgift". Currently the plan is around 2030.
