Yes, but they make many times more ICE ones than that, despite the fact that consumers generally prefer EVs as long as the price is right.
and they are dominating the EU market though selling poorly outside it.
That’s probably heavily influenced by national and EU subsidies and other regulations designed to give them significant advantages over non-European competitors, rather than what European drivers want.
the ICE market in the EU still accounts for about three quarters of the market
Because of the aforementioned stubbornness and preferential treatment more than anything else.
The EU was going to ban new ICE cars by 2030, before lobbying from the major car making countries succeeded in pushing it back to 2040. I just hope they won’t succeed in their current efforts to push it back even farther if not repeal the regulation entirely 😮💨
