It will also make a pilot deployment of fast charging stations along highways in southern Sweden (E20, E6 and E22), Denmark (E20, E45 and E55) and northern Germany (E45 and E22). Multi-standard quick charger requirements have been established and validated, and the first 13 (thirteen) charging stations are fully operational and open to the users in Denmark (E45) and Sweden (E20). Several study activities on consumers, key selling points, network planning methodology and network management have been completed.

        Zero Emission Ferries - a green link across the Oresund

        The project covered the introduction of new and innovative concepts and technology by converting two existing complex RoPax ships - originally fuelled by heavy oil - to plug-in all electric powered operation using exclusively batteries. The Action brings a more environmentally friendly solution to a very busy maritime link, connecting the comprehensive TEN-T network ports of Helsingör (Denmark) and Helsingborg (Sweden).

        The Action consists of a study with pilot aiming to deploy roughly 70 triple standard quick chargers and three LNG/CNG stations, over more than 900 km of the Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor and the Core road network (in Germany, Sweden and Denmark). The exact locations of the stations will be defined during the Action.

        In addition, based on the installed quick chargers and LNG fuelling stations, the Action will develop two studies providing business models and recommendations for policy measures in this domain. Open…

        Differentiated registration tax

        …2017, 65% in 2018, 90% in 2019 and 100% in 2020. The registration tax for cars has also decreased since 2015. These changes paralysed electric car sales. To re-boot the market, the Danish government introduced a deduction based on battery capacity in April 2017. At the same time it decided to maintain the registration tax for BEV cars at 20% for two additional years or until reaching the threshold of 5 000 new registrations (Government of Denmark, 2017). In October 2017, a new reduced registration tax for cars was enforced. This includes new incentives for electric and efficient cars (SKAT, 2018).
