  • The price of used electric vehicles in Denmark has risen significantly in the past three months.
  • While new electric car prices remain stable, the used market is experiencing a notable increase.
  • This trend coincides with the growing presence of Chinese car brands in the European market.

The market for used electric vehicles in Denmark is experiencing a sharp price increase, with the most popular models seeing a rise of 64,000 Danish kroner (approximately $9,300 USD) over just three months. This surge contrasts with the stable pricing observed for new electric cars.

The trend highlights a dynamic shift in the automotive landscape, particularly as Chinese car manufacturers increasingly enter the European market. While new car prices remain steady, the demand for pre-owned electric vehicles is driving up their value considerably. This situation could present challenges for consumers looking to purchase used EVs, as well as opportunities for sellers.

This development occurs against a backdrop of broader changes in the automotive industry, including discussions around the competitiveness of established German manufacturers. Reports indicate that German car giants are facing difficulties, with the CEO of Volkswagen issuing a call for help. The increasing market share of Chinese vehicles in Europe is a significant factor contributing to these shifts.
