Volkswagen's entry-level EVs outsell petrol cars in Germany
Original: In Germany, Volkswagen hinders gas-car shift as entry-level EVs overtake ICE orders
Volkswagen's most affordable electric models are reportedly overtaking orders for its petrol and diesel cars in Germany, a shift the company is said to be slowing as it balances the transition. The development is being covered by finance and climate-focused outlets, with commentators framing it as a sign that cheap EVs are reaching mass-market buyers faster than the automaker planned.
Why now: Reports that budget EVs are outselling combustion models challenge expectations about how fast German drivers will switch to electric cars.
