That’s also just Volkswagen the brand. If you add up VW, Skoda, Cupra etc. its not even remotely close and they overtook Tesla a while ago..

    There's no BYD in those charts?

      https://www.bike-ev.com/news/cars/byds-270-europe-sales-surg... But these numbers don't split out only EVs. So assuming these numbers are correct, BYD would be below even Geeley which seems... odd. It's probably availability bias, but I see BYD cars every day and that's not true for Geely.

      It's only showing the top 8 groups. BYD are presumably part of the missing percentage (show it as a bar graph to see how much isn't covered).
      Looking at the data in more detail, BYD are selling about half of Tesla. (85k across Europe in 2025 vs 185k for Tesla)

  I don't think Americans understand how large Volkswagen is.

The Skoda Enyaq (VRS model specifically) is the best EV I've driven/travelled in by quite some margin. Exceptionally good. I mention it because VAG group.
