Dantaxi's 600+ EV taxis will reach a distance of 50 million kilometres by 2023

The 600+ EV taxis are distributed across a total of 16 different car brands, two more than a year ago when the company carried out a similar count. Citroen and MG are Dantaxi's newest electric car brands.

Volkswagen was the brand with the most EV taxis at Dantaxi in 2022, followed by Mercedes and Tesla. However, this year, Mercedes has taken first place, with Volkswagen and Tesla relegated to second and third place. Hyundai, Skoda, and Kia follow in the subsequent three places.

Taxi drivers are demanding reliability
Mr Jan Britze is a driver at Dantaxi and he has chosen Mercedes. Jan explains that when choosing a taxi, taxi drivers emphasise reliable workshop service and the importer's knowledge of the industry. Jan Britze, who was one of the first in Denmark to drive an electric taxi 10 years ago, believes that the trend of more and more electric cars as taxis will continue:

 - I'm not particularly surprised that the number of electric taxis has increased by 48% in 11 months. In fact, I'm sure that this development will continue and that most taxis will be electric in a few years' time," he says.  

10 years with electric taxis
It has now been ten years since the first electric taxis appeared on the streets of Denmark. The first electric taxi was delivered to Dantaxi in 2013. By 2015, Dantaxi drivers in Nykøbing Mors acquired three electric cars. In 2023, one of them travelled almost a million kilometres before it was replaced. In 2021, working with E.ON, the largest charging hub for electric taxis in the Nordic region, was opened by Dantaxi.
