Artificially favorable conditions make electric cars popular like never before. In August, the electric car accounted for 55 percent of new car sales in Denmark.
In August 2024, 12,854 new passenger cars were registered in Denmark, which is a minor decrease compared to August 2023.
Overall, the number of registered new cars in Denmark this year has increased to 110,694, which represents a modest increase of 1.5 percent compared to the same period last year.
The sale of electric cars showed a significant increase in August, when 7,050 new electric cars were registered.
This corresponds to an increase of 48 percent compared to August 2023. Electric cars thus accounted for 55 percent of total new car sales, making them the most popular fuel. The upcoming zero-emission zones, which have been adopted in Aarhus, among others, are expected to accelerate this development further.

– Car sales in August show a slight decline. However, we expect a reasonable overall result for the car year 2024. We are happy about the great interest in new cars in Denmark, says Mads Rorvig further.
