Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Det foreslås med lovforslaget at udskyde indfasningen af en højere registreringsafgift for nulemissionskøretøjer, så den effektive sats fastholdes på 60 pct. og den afgiftsfri grænse fastholdes på ca. 419.300 kr. i 2026. Udskydelsen af indfasningen af højere registreringsafgift for elbiler er en udmøntning af en del af finanslovsaftalen for 2026 og skal understøtte den fortsatte udbredelse af elbiler i Danmark. Det foreslås, at loven skal træde i kraft den 1. januar 2026.
