Chasing the longest range figure on paper is the easy way to shop for an electric car. The trouble is, most of the models topping those range charts also carry some of the highest price tags in the segment. For a lot of buyers, a more useful question is which car actually delivers the most range for every krone spent, and that’s exactly the calculation behind a new ranking from Mobilsiden.dk.
EV price per km range: a simple but useful metric
The math is straightforward: take a car’s price, divide it by its official WLTP range, and you get a price per kilometre of range. A lower number means more range for the money. It doesn’t capture everything about a car, but it captures something genuinely important: value.
That matters most for buyers who aren’t looking to pay extra for luxury trim, oversized screens or high performance, and who mainly need a car that can comfortably handle commuting, family trips and the occasional longer drive without constant charging anxiety. It’s precisely in that segment that several budget friendly EVs turn out to punch well above their price tag.
Cheap EVs with long range top the list
The MG4 Premium Extended Range takes the top spot outright, priced at 234,999 DKK with a WLTP range of 545 km, working out to 431 DKK per kilometre of range. The Leapmotor B05 Design lands in second, at 209,990 DKK for 482 km, or 436 DKK per km. Third place goes to the Peugeot e-208 Allure, priced at 189,990 DKK with 432 km of range, landing at 440 DKK per km.

Use the list as a starting filter, not the final word
The clearest takeaway from the ranking is that long range doesn’t have to mean a car costing 400,000 or 500,000 DKK. Plenty of models under 300,000 DKK offer a genuinely strong balance between price and range, more than enough for typical everyday driving for most buyers.
That said, range per krone shouldn’t be the only thing guiding a purchase. Charging speed, interior space, warranty coverage, comfort, safety and equipment levels can all end up mattering just as much in daily use. Even so, this particular calculation cuts straight to one of the questions that matters most to EV buyers on a budget: how far can the car actually go without pushing the price too high. By that measure, the MG4 Premium Extended Range, Leapmotor B05 and Peugeot e-208 currently sit as the three strongest picks in the top 20.
