I wouldn't call "37% share of small EV van sales in Eroupe" "crushing it" per se.

It's a niche thing and how many competitors are there?

Vans aren't niche in Europe. You see them everywhere.

And EVs are being sold more and more. So a starting marketshare of 37% is really good.

Here are some competitors: https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/best/electric-vans

In the list of 10 best, there are 5 different brands alone.

We are talking about 1.5million vans being sold in the EU. Being the market leader on the electric segement with 37% is pretty good.
