The article isn't at all about how Volkswagen is doing in Europe.

That is about VW AG losing money due to one-off disruption relating to the Trump tariffs plus an issue with one of their minor brands. However, VW AG sales of electric cars in Europe are healthily up.

I'd struggle to see how you got the idea that they were struggling from a sales PoV from that article; it says the opposite. This website has a serious reading comprehension problem.
