They were up 6% as a total as a company last year in

2023, but they were up 14% in terms of electric vehicles. And their best market share in Europe

is 14% as well. Got great cars like the Fiat 500E, Vauxhall Opel Corsa, Peugeosos, they're all

so good for typical family cars. They want to double their

all-electric offerings by the end of this year as well here in Europe and on a rip. Volkswagen, talking
