The usual Dacia is indeed from Romania, but Spring is their first EV and it’s basically some unknown Chinese car rebranded with Dacia’s body kit. The whole EV technology is Chinese, though. New one will be (supposedly) based on new Renault Twingo platform.
As for the tax: yes, there’s just that small registration fee specific to cars, but there’s also usual 21% VAT like on everything.
And that “upgrade” path? It is definitely not Denmark thing alone as we have it here too. Prices I listed are for the bare bones trims. Classic move is like this: Want something useful like parking cam? Pay up. And because manufacturers are pricks, it’s only available as a package with some other crap you don’t need nor want but still have to pay for…
Škoda revealed Epiq recently, which is I believe ID.Polo cousin. And it’s not cheap by far, for it’s size and specs. Basic trim starts at over $30k and that means things like gray color only, no parking cam, no keyless doors, no V2L, no heated seats, no wireless charger, etc. And also just basic 3 year warranty. Want better specs? You’re at price of Tesla Y… (Don’t want to bring its idiot owner here, just comparing cars offers.)
And my personal gripe of car industry: I absolutely hate every car review magazine/site/channel where they present new cars like “this new model costs just XY”, then proceed to show you nice car and at the very end they tell you it’s not the XY price base trim. It actually costs over twice as much, due to better trim, bigger battery and all the fancy options. Yeah, thank you and f*ck you with a cactus.
