In Copenhagen there are charging poles in a lot of places, also in the inner city. They’re reserved for EVs. For this reason, it’s very easy to find parking with a EV and leave with a full tank.

You bring your own cable which costs $120 (+25% VAT), which is locked to the car and the charging pole, so it can’t be stolen without being ruined.



As a Dane I can attest that charging infrastructure is most definitely not anywhere near good enough for most people that doesn't have their own parking spot. I just bought a mild-hybrid for the exact reason that charging is impossible if I don't want to drive in circles looking for a spot or risk having to either walk home or sit at a charging station starring at the sky on my way home.
