What does it cost to charge an EV in Denmark?
Updated July 2026
The price depends on where you charge: at home, at a public charger or at a fast charger. Get an overview of the three levels — and find out what YOU should be paying.
The three ways to charge
There are basically three places you can charge your EV, and the price varies widely: at home at your own home charger, at a public destination charger (AC), or at a fast charger (DC) along the motorway or in town.
As a rule of thumb, home charging is cheapest, public AC charging is in the middle, and fast charging is the most expensive — you pay for the speed. Most EV drivers end up with a combination, so your real charging economy depends on how large a share of your charging happens where.
What does public charging cost?
Without a subscription (pay-as-you-go), public AC charging typically costs 3–5 kr per kWh, while fast charging typically costs 4–8 kr per kWh. Some operators also add a start fee per charge or a per-minute fee on top, so always compare the total price and not just the kWh price.
Prices change continuously, and the difference between operators is significant. You can see current prices per operator here on the site — both on the map and on the operator pages.
A subscription changes the math
Most Danish charging operators offer subscriptions: you pay a fixed monthly fee and get a lower kWh price in return — or in some cases free charging on the operator's own network.
Whether a subscription pays off depends on how many kilometres you drive per month and where you charge. If you drive a lot and often charge in public, the subscription pays for itself quickly. If you mostly charge at home or drive few kilometres, pay-as-you-go is often cheaper.
Home charging is usually cheapest
If you charge at home, you pay your normal electricity price — typically around 2–3 kr per kWh depending on the spot price, tariffs and time of day. With a home-charger agreement you can also get a refund on the electricity tax, which brings the price down further.
The larger the share of your charging that happens at home, the less public prices matter for your overall charging economy — and the harder it becomes for an expensive subscription to pay off.
How to find your price
There is no single right charging setup — the cheapest combination depends on your driving pattern, your share of home charging and which networks cover your routes.
