I agree with this. Most European car manufacturers produce EVs now, and a lot of them are looking quite competitive compared to Tesla.

While Tesla sold more EVs than any other brand in Europe 2024, BMW and Volkswagen both sold more EVs in Germany than Tesla. And Mercedes sold about the same number of units as Tesla in 2024 in Germany. Porsche's Taycan looks very competitive compared to Tesla's fastest offerings -- And tesla still doesn't have "sports car".

Non-german car manufactures such as Skoda, Renault, Volvo, and Jaguar (if those last two are still "European") also sell a lot of interesting EVs.

Admittedly, I haven't seen many Stelantis branded EVs except for Fiat 500e.
