Not quite. All the European brands together still isn't enough to take the top spot from tesla, and tesla has both #1 and #2.

You are looking at specific models though, and not whole manufacturer’s market share. It does seems that Testa took a leap in the last couple of quarters though.

While this extract is for the whole 2022, it puts VW at the top. Let’s wait for 2023 to close up.

The Volkswagen Group was the leading car manufacturer in Europe based on new battery-electric vehicle registrations recorded in 2022. That year, over 349,100 new BEVs were from one of the Volkswagen Group's brands. In contrast, the American EV giant Tesla ranked second

In any way, EU made EVs are very competitive. Saying that the “EU is not successful with their own EVs” is the real bullshit.

Agreed.

And let's see what 2023 brings. Would be good to see some European cars come out on top.
