    It’s mostly failing car companies like Tesla and Stellantis that makes that claim.
    Especially Elon Musk has made that claim numerous times this year, that the problem isn’t just Tesla but the entire market, which has been false the entire time he claimed it, just like Tesla safety is a lie, and FSD is a lie, and Tesla AI is a lie. The Hyper-loop is a lie, and the manned mission to Mars by 2024 is a lie.
    If you keep listening to the likes of Musk, it’s no wonder you are hearing a lot of lies.

      All of the German manufacturers fall into that category? They keep on lobbying the EU to delay the transition dates and blaming demand.

        VW did have to shut down some production, despite being very successful on the EV market in northern/western Europe. Problem is most European countries are dragging their feet on electric. With less than 15% marketshare compared to the 73% in Denmark. I think EU average adoption of EV is slower than expected, because some countries are completely lacking in infrastructure for it, and don’t have meaningful incentives.
        But the market is not declining as Musk claims, it’s just not growing as much as expected.

            EV market share in Europe is now 17,5%. In other words, every 6th (well, every 5,7th) car sold in Europe is currently fully electric!

            I’m not sure what you point is?
            But that is in line with my claim and is pretty underwhelming IMO. Norway has passed 90% and as I mentioned Denmark has passed 70%. It’s also quite telling that a tiny country like Denmark with only 6 million citizens manage to sell more BEV cars than for instance Poland, Italy and Spain that have a population of 40-60 million.

                Data is worthless, nad without a point or context, it is merely as you say data.
                But data provided WITH context that has a point is information, and information is gold.
