Home vs public charging in Denmark — the 5 cheapest EVs to charge
Public and DC fast charging in Denmark is billed per session by each network and varies widely, so we model it the way the kernel does on every cost page: 2.5× the home rate — about 4,63 kr./kWh against 1,85 kr./kWh at home. That is a planning estimate, not any network's tariff. Here is what it does to the 5 cheapest-to-charge models we price in Denmark:
| Electric model | Per 100 km at home | Public (≈2.5× home) | Extra per year if all-public |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology | 25,65 kr. | 64,12 kr. | +5.771 kr. |
| Tesla Model 3 Standard | 27,33 kr. | 68,32 kr. | +6.149 kr. |
| Volvo EX30 Single Motor Extended Range Plus | 28,17 kr. | 70,43 kr. | +6.338 kr. |
| Volkswagen ID.7 Pro | 29,22 kr. | 73,05 kr. | +6.575 kr. |
| Renault 5 E-Tech 52kWh Techno | 29,43 kr. | 73,58 kr. | +6.622 kr. |
- Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology is the cheapest EV to charge in Denmark — 25,65 kr. per 100 km at home — and at the public estimate (64,12 kr.) it still beats the 117,32 kr. of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- A Tesla Model 3 Standard draws 13 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs 27,33 kr.; at the public estimate (68,32 kr.) it still beats the 117,32 kr. of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the Volvo EX30 Single Motor Extended Range Plus, public-only charging would add about 6.338 kr. a year at 15.000 km/year over charging at home (28,17 kr. vs 70,43 kr. per 100 km); even then it stays under the 117,32 kr. a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
- A Volkswagen ID.7 Pro draws 13.9 kWh per 100 km, so home charging runs 29,22 kr.; at the public estimate (73,05 kr.) it still beats the 117,32 kr. of petrol a 7 L/100 km car burns over the same distance.
- For the Renault 5 E-Tech 52kWh Techno, public-only charging would add about 6.622 kr. a year at 15.000 km/year over charging at home (29,43 kr. vs 73,58 kr. per 100 km); even then it stays under the 117,32 kr. a 7 L/100 km petrol car needs.
Even at the 2.5× public estimate, all 5 of these models still undercut the 117,32 kr. of petrol a typical 7 L/100 km car burns per 100 km — in Denmark the charging case survives without a driveway. Our 5-year totals on each model page assume 80% home / 20% public charging at this same multiple — these two columns are the ends of that range.
FAQ
How much does a full charge cost in Denmark?
Roughly 121 kr.–303 kr. for the electric models we price in Denmark (battery size × the local home rate, charging loss included) — most drivers top up daily rather than charging 0→100%.
Is charging an EV cheaper than petrol in Denmark?
Per 100 km, home charging costs about 25,65 kr.–44,15 kr. versus about 117,32 kr. of petrol for a typical 7 L/100 km car — at the dated local rates shown above. Whether the EV wins the FULL 5-year cost (purchase, depreciation, insurance) is a different question; each model page shows the honest total.
How much does charging an EV cost per month?
About 407 kr./month for a typical 15.000 km/year driver at the local average — proportionally more for heavier driving or pricier tariffs.
Does this include public or fast charging?
No — the per-model table above prices home charging only. Public and DC fast charging is billed per session by each network, often 2–3× the home rate; the home-vs-public table shows our 2.5× planning estimate for the cheapest models — an estimate, not any network's tariff.
