Well, they were already on notice really. The UK will ban new car ICE sales 5 years earlier than the EU:

Volkswagen is the leader in EV sales in Europe at the moment. They are about to overtake Renault in cumulative EV sales too:

What is going on here?

Is the market getting tons of new competitors, which is why the status quo is losing market share?

That's an individual brand view and it's showing percentages. Automakers are releasing more models across more brands these days. Volkswagen, for example, owns 12 automotive brands and most of them have EV models out now:

So far in 2021 Volkswagen has about 27.8% of the EV market in Europe: https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL_MONTHLY/Groups/Year/2021

In Q2 only they had 30.1%: https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL_MONTHLY/Groups/Quarter/20...

Not sure why, but that chart doesn't include Ford, which just released the Mach E, which happens to be selling very well right now in Europe.

If you look by groups the effect is less. As an example Skoda Enyaq is from Volkswagen AG but it’s naturally not a Volkswagen branded product.

But yeah everyone and their dog is releasing EV’s now.
