In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • Proposed by: Dan­marks­de­mokraterne (6 members, first named: Hans Kristian Skibby)
  • What is proposed: The proposal calls on the Danish Parliament to require the government to introduce a bill that abolishes the current repair limit for electric cars.
  • Who would be affected: The proposal is about electric cars that are damaged and must be assessed as either repairable or written off.
  • When: The proposal has not been adopted yet. A proposal for a parliamentary resolution is not an act and does not change the rules by itself. If the Danish Parliament adopts it, it is usually a call on the government to act.

What the proposal says:

  • The government must introduce a bill to abolish the repair limit for electric cars before the end of the 2026-27 parliamentary session.
  • An electric car may only be declared irreparably written off when a documented technical assessment shows that it cannot be brought back to a safe and legal condition.
  • The assessment of repair or scrapping must be based on technical and safety conditions, and not on a percentage of the market value.
  • The bill must support documented repair methods for battery housings, battery packs and other high-voltage components, when this is safe.

Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)

Be­slut­nings­forsla­get går ud på at pålægge regeringen inden udgangen af folketingsåret 2026-27 at fremsætte et lovforslag, der afskaffer den gældende reparationsgrænse for elbiler. Det foreslås, at vurderingen af, om et køretøj skal repareres eller kasseres, skal baseres på dokumenterede tekniske og sikkerhedsmæssige forhold og ikke på, om re­par­a­tion­somkost­ningerne overstiger en fastsat procentdel af køretøjets handelsværdi.
