Just another confirmation (if one were needed) that PEVs remain dependent on subsidies for sales. Via IEVS:http://insideevs.com/ev-sales-down-80-in-denmark-for-2016-after-tax-policy-change/
Denmark plug-in electric car sales have been subdued this year, as the government decided to gradually end the plug-in exemption from a normally steep 180% tax.
As one can see from the chart above, consumers rushed to buy EVs in November and December or last year, avoiding the first 20% tax wave beginning in January. Mid-way through 2016 (June) sales of plug-in cars stand at only 288 units sold for the first 6 months, compared to 1,299 year ago, off almost 80% (data via EV Sales Blog). . . .
