In Europe didn’t basically all brands take a hit? It was framed as Tesla falling behind but it’s more that Chinese EVs are so cheap, nothing can compete. Even within China the competition is insane, with over 100 car companies fighting to survive and giving out big discounts.

No. VW is up 78% and the market in general EV sales is up by 22%. It is actually just mostly Tesla doing poorly.

It isn't just Chinese EVs there are Korean brands on the road e.g. Jaewoo.

I'm in the UK and the only new Fords I see are these huge F250/F350 which make my 4x4 (which is relatively small compared to a modern 4x4) look tiny.

You managed to write the name wrong, Jaecoo not Jaewoo, and it's chinese not korean. On top of that it's a throwaway account.

Pretty sure they confused Daewoo with Jaecoo. But as far as I know Daewoo does not exist anymore.

		I confused Jae-woo (a Korean name) with Jaecoo. I think I must have mis-spelled the name when googling them after seeing the Dealership near me. However I do remember Daewoo, I don't think there many left on UK roads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jae-woo

I mixed these brands up. Thanks for the correction.

They (Jaecoo) opened a dealership 20 minutes from where I am.

Volkswagen is doing very well in Europe.
