Are you proposing that Denmark is a part of the EU because it does not produce its own cars?
Cars are incredibly expensive in Denmark (Not quite Singapore levels, but high). This, however, is more grounded in a cultural difference where walkable cities are preferred.
The US is incredibly car centric - to an extend where US trips can be directly read in my stress levels as measured on my watch. The US is so incredibly noisy and smelly.

Additional taxing is not handled in the EU. Cars are considerably more expensive in Denmark than Germany because taxes on cars are significantly higher in Denmar.
