How the electricity tax refund works

EVs have become a regular part of everyday life for many. With a charger at home, the car can charge at night or when electricity is cheapest. One of the things that makes home charging extra attractive is the possibility of a refund of the electricity tax. But what does it actually mean, how does it work, and what can you save? Here is a simple explanation, so you can see how the refund helps lower your costs as an EV owner.

What is the electricity tax refund?

The electricity tax refund means you can get money back for the tax you pay when charging your EV. When you buy electricity in Denmark, there is a tax on every kWh. But if the electricity is used to charge an EV via an approved charger with a subscription, part of the tax can be refunded. That makes owning an EV cheaper and ensures home charging can compete with public stations and other alternatives.
