Italy Investigates Top Carmakers Over Misleading EV Claims

Fortune

The Italian Competition Authority has launched a probe into Stellantis, BYD, Tesla, and Volkswagen, citing concerns over 'clear and complete information' on electric vehicle driving ranges, battery degradation, and warranty limitations. This investigation aims to protect consumers from potential breaches of consumer protection laws, ensuring transparency in the automotive industry. With the rise of electric vehicles, manufacturers must provide accurate information on range anxiety, battery health, and warranty coverage to avoid misleading consumers. The Authority's move is a significant step towards promoting fair competition and consumer rights in the EV market, where companies like Tesla and Volkswagen are major players.
