WV seems to do amazingly in Europe so not sure what you are talking about. It is Tesla thaumt seems to be leaving the EV market with no new exciting models and making the European market hate the brand.
That's related to one relatively minor subsidiary brand (Porsche accounts for about 3% of VW AG's sales), and it's a _weird_ brand for them, in that, whereas in a given size category the relevant SEAT, Skoda, VW, Audi etc are all pretty much the same, Porsches are quite distinct. VW as a whole is fairly committed to electric. Like, that article notes that their European EV sales are good.
That article says nothing about VW EV sales being poor in Europe. In fact it calls VW’s EVs increasingly popular.
The losses seem to be due to a tariff hit in the U.S. and due to Porsche change in strategy to focus more on hybrids and ICEs (0possibky because they’re focusing on EVs through VW?).
Seems to me like they largely agree. VW has issues caused by US tariffs and problems with Porsche but EV sales in Europe are growing and carries the rest of the company.
