some sure would, but do you seriously think 97% of private buyers would rather pay 30000 EUR extra (or double the retail price) for those few BEV advantages? I really doubt that, these sales are all just tax policy and nothing to do with BEV benefits
zero ICE advantages?
1. lower price (if gov doesn't destroy market with taxes/benefits)
2. much bigger range
3. you can refill the tank in few minutes without any planning pretty much anywhere
4. you are saving the roads since ICE is usually much lighter than comparable BEV, cars should pay road tax based on their weight as main factor
5. cheaper per km expenses (vs fast chargers, half of the DK population lives in apartments)
OTOH BEV advantages:
1. better acceleration
2. quieter
3. simpler engine, so in theory less maintenance and higher longetivity
btw. you don't smell stink of your fumes, so your EV doesn't really solve this problem
I really doubt (most) people care about acceleration/noise and maintenance that much they would be willing to pay double price of the ICE and get those disadvantages
Don't get me wrong, I am fan of EVs, but under normal market conditions. Bring me Chinese EVs for Chinese price and if EV will be actually cheaper than some European ICE, then people can accept those EV disadvantages, but at current prices which are already not real thanks to gov it just doesn't make sense for someone not living in their own house with PV.
