We're talking about Europe here. The choices are there. Around here (greater Paris) I see a lot of Chinese brands (BYD, MG, Volvo) and domestics too (VW, Renault).

Edit: I meant to reply to u/petesergeant above.

I have test-driven BYD, Volvo, VW and Tesla and extensively driving VW, Tesla and Volvo. Of course you see different brands, but it doesn't mean they are as good right now.

My response to your assertion that Tesla is the best EV on the market is “so what”. The other brands may not be ”the best”, but buyers have decided they are good enough for their specific needs and that is all that matters.
Isn't Volvo Swedish?
Yeah. Chinese too.
I don't understand.
