According to Greenpeace, VW is doing little to sell EVs.

Translated from German:
The research shows that sales of the VW ID.3 e-car, which has been sluggish to date, are at least partially self-inflicted. According to consistent statements from dealers, the conditions for selling cars with combustion engines are significantly more lucrative. Selling an e-car instead of a combustion engine has so far brought retailers and their sales staff economic disadvantages. In addition, there is apparently a lack of comprehensive sales training and in-depth knowledge of VW's electric models. This is proven by test discussions that Greenpeace carried out nationwide at 50 VW dealers. Despite a uniform usage profile that fully matches the ID.3, a car with an internal combustion engine was recommended to potential buyers in 27 cases. 3 was only recommended in eight conversations.
