With this sales volume, Volkswagen reached a 25% share of all the electric cars sold in Europe in 2021, a leadership it also had in 2020. Although the Model 3 was the best-selling EV in the continent last year, it was not enough for Tesla to reach a market share larger than 13.9%, with close to 168,000 cars. Thanks to the title of this article, you already know that this was not enough for Tesla to retain second place.
