Denmark Passenger Car Sales : 2024 (Jan-Jun)












Registrations were up 2% YTD For June 51% of sales were for electric cars, fossil fueled ones 46% and plug in hybrids 3%. I found the high electric compared to low hybrid strange but assume government incentives encourage one and discourage the other. 

VW was the leading brand from 2011 to 2002 but it was unceremoniously bumped off its perch by Tesla which increased massively in 2023 to easily take the top spot. 

While it has retained its lead so far this year, there was a definite reduction in terms of volume. Chinese electric cars were probably at least partly the reason. Recent moves in the EU  to nullify subsidised cars from China gaining an unfair advantage should see an effect to a degree. That will be dependent of course on how pricing is affected as some may absorb the increased cost. 

The top selling models were the Tesla Y (4,949), Tesla 3 (3,538), Audi Q4 e-Tron (2,800), VW ID.4 ((2,565), Peugeot 208 (2,429) and the Citroën C3 (2,240).
