MADRID: Sports and luxury car enthusiasts in Denmark are increasingly swapping the Audi A8, BMW 5 and Mercedes E for the model, reveals the Danish Car Importers Association – all for a price of a large family car.
In 2014, the American company Tesla, which specialises in producing electric cars, sold 616 of its Model S sedans in Denmark and some 282 during the first four months of this year.In fact, more than one third of all electric cars cruising the Danish roads come from the manufacturer.
When choosing an electric car, Danish buyers do not have to pay any taxes (bar the VAT), making Tesla competitively cheaper than its traditional rivals.
