This is how the tax increases on hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars with less than 50 grams of CO2
When is it best for the customer to buy a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid car, when the tax on low-emission cars (cars with CO2 emissions of less than 50 grams of CO2) increases year by year?
For several years, the registration fee for low-emission cars has been reduced as part of the green transformation of road transport in Denmark, but in 2035 the plan is for the fee to be completely phased out, as the political side wants to focus on a fully electric vehicle instead.
