“Other brands have not followed VW in introducing price cuts, at least not in Europe, but have continued expanding their lineups to compete in more market segments. Mercedes is the best example of this approach, as it now sells a market-leading eight distinct models.
“Overall, the KBA noted that the EV market grew by 2.6% during February, a strong indicator that the market continues to gain interest in electric mobility. Hopefully, no matter the market leader, this interest can continue to grow and lead to a far more sustainable economy overall” the reporter noted in a news article published on the California-based Tesla news’ platform.
