Price guide

What does a year with an EV cost you?

Answer three questions. We work through every way of paying for charging in Denmark: pay-as-you-go, subscription and all inclusive, at home, on the street and at rapid chargers. You get the yearly cost and can see at how many kilometres another option becomes cheapest.

Use the electricity tax for

The Danish electricity tax (elafgift) has been cut to almost zero in 2026 and 2027. From 2028 it rises again by about 0.90 DKK/kWh incl. VAT. That does not apply to electricity you charge through a home charger with a tax refund (until the end of 2030).

Use your own meter data optional, via Eloverblik

Eloverblik is Energinet's portal for your own electricity data. With it we look up your grid company, electric heating, solar panels and your EV charging instead of guessing.

Log in to eloverblik.dk with MitID (Danish digital ID).
Open the menu (☰ top right) and choose API-adgang (API access). Don't choose Datadeling (data sharing); that is for sharing your data with another person.
Tap + Opret token (create token), give it a name (e.g. "Elmer"), tap Opret (create) and copy the token. If Eloverblik asks whether your CPR number may be used, say yes. This only happens the first time.
Paste it here and tap Fetch my data.

Your data stays with you. Your browser fetches the figures directly from Energinet; they are not sent to us and are not stored. The token is forgotten when you close the page. You can delete the token again on eloverblik.dk under API-adgang.

Charging prices now

Rapid chargers, nationwide providers

The price without a subscription (pay-as-you-go, called ad hoc in Denmark), converted to one price per kWh for a 40 kWh charge so you can compare. The figure is the median of the provider's rapid chargers (50 kW and up).

Cheap · under 3.20 Medium · 3.20–4.00 Expensive · over 4.00

The DKK column is the price for 40 kWh. Prices come from the operators' AFIR data (the EU rules that require open charging data) at Dataudveksleren, Denmark's national access point; where the feed has no price, we use the rate the operator publishes. The price shown on the charger applies.

The bar shows the range from the cheapest to the most expensive charger, the dot the median.

Home charging

What is a kWh at home made of?

In Denmark, electricity at home is the spot price, your local grid company's tariff (nettarif), the tariffs of Energinet (the national grid operator), electricity tax (elafgift) and 25% VAT. The grid tariff is lowest at night, and the electricity tax has been cut to 0.8 øre (0.008 DKK) per kWh in 2026 and 2027.

Your address determines the grid company. The price guide looks it up, and with a token from Eloverblik it can use your own meter data. The data is fetched directly in your browser and is not sent to us.

How we calculated Sources and caveats

About Elmer

At a petrol station, you see the price on the sign before you pull in. At a charger, you first have to find the right app and work out whether the price is pay-as-you-go or needs a subscription. Elmer gathers the prices, so you can plan where to charge before you set off, at home and on the road.

Updated 12 October 2026

Independent

Elmer is not owned by a charging operator, an energy company or a car dealer, and we are not paid to show one provider over another. The order is decided by price.

Where do the numbers come from?

Charging prices come from the operators’ data via the Danish Road Directorate’s (Vejdirektoratet) National Access Point and from the operators’ own price lists. Electricity prices and grid tariffs come from Energi Data Service at Energinet. Read more in where the prices come from and how Elmer calculates the price.

Elmer is made and run by Allan Noer. Write to support@elmerapp.dk if you have questions, criticism or praise.
