FDM now demands that the state supports electric cars more than is the case today.
Specifically, the interest organization demands that the state throw even more subsidy kroner at especially the smaller and cheaper electric cars. If this does not happen, FDM fears that an A and a B team of motorists will emerge.
That is why the organization has also started a campaign with the claim called 'How more Danes – and the environment – get better benefit from electric car subsidies.'
– We doubt that the electric car will really make a popular breakthrough if the many Danes who do not have DKK 300,000-500,000 for a new electric car have to make do with half a load, says FDM's managing director, Stina Glavind.
