Well electricity is so heavily taxed in Denmark the price for electricity is multiplied multiple times over.

The actual cost like 90% of the price is taxes if I remember correctly.

So taxes for electric cars "Fuel" have already been accounted for.

Edit: grammar is hard

It's about 70%. If you only count the electricity specific taxes, it's around 50%.

Fresh numbers from todays elpris.dk - øre = Danish cents (yes, they are called ears).

Cost of production: 26,05 øre/kWh Transmission: 35,19 øre/kWh Taxes: 105,40 øre/kWh VAT (25,00 pct.) 41,66 øre/kWh

In total: 208,31 øre/kWh
