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.

The chart shows the top 8 brands only.

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.
