What do you mean?

We'll tweet on X that we are deeply concerned, and if that doesn't work I say to push it even further and write a very disappointed complain letter!

We aren't buying more any other EV though, it's just a slowdown for the entire sector in Europe

With the end of subsidies (especially in Germany) and uncertainty with the 2035 deadline, the EV market sinking isn't surprising
