Some of that is due to sales in general being down 28% and Germany ending incentives for most EVs. As a result, automakers are in position to face stiff fines if they don’t meet the EU fuel consumption targets so there is discussion on resetting the incentives.
Are you implying that this BEV sales growth is driven by factory incentives, OEMs taking losses, government subsidies, diminishing ICE alternatives, and surplus inventory? Is that sustainable? If so, for how long?
