A 35-year-old man has been remanded in custody for four weeks, charged with large-scale fraud involving 573 EV charging subscriptions. Police say the charging operator lost more than 1.5 million kroner.
The man was arrested on Thursday evening and remanded in custody on Friday afternoon. DR reports that he is charged with extensive fraud involving charging subscriptions for electric cars.
According to DR, the man is suspected of creating 573 private charging subscriptions with a charging operator on behalf of the company LS Busser. The subscriptions were allegedly used to charge vehicles belonging to the company or its subcontractors. The electricity was never paid for.
Fyns Politi states in a press release that more than 11,000 charging sessions were carried out over a period of more than a year, beginning in May 2025. Fyns Politi says the subscriptions were used for commercial driving without payment for the charged electricity.
The result, according to police, is that the charging operator lost more than 1.5 million kroner. Police inspector Michael Lichtenstein says officers take this form of fraud very seriously. He adds that the investigation continues and that further arrests cannot be ruled out.

Company director rejects the link
Fyens Stiftstidende, which first reported the remand decision, writes that the 35-year-old denies the charges. The newspaper also spoke with Omran Khaled Abdel Rahman, director of LS Busser. He says he does not understand why the company is being connected to the case.
As reported by Fyens Stiftstidende, the director states that LS Busser does not own electric cars and does not use them in its operations. He adds that the company has no subcontractors driving electric cars for it. In his account, the allegations do not match the actual conditions in the company.
DR Nyheder says it contacted LS Busser for comment, but the company had not responded to the inquiry.
Company already under scrutiny
LS Busser supplies flextrafik services, transporting sick and vulnerable citizens. DR notes that the company was recently criticized in the broadcaster’s consumer program Kontant.
That coverage concerned missing children’s certificates, known as børneattester, and safety conditions in flexbuses. Per DR, a former driver said he was not asked for a børneattest despite driving vulnerable children. The charging case is a separate matter.
No charges have been brought against LS Busser as a company in connection with the charging subscriptions. Fyns Politi says it has no further comments at this time, citing the ongoing investigation into the alleged misuse of EV chargers.
