Interesting article that I think points to a good environment for Tesla in the EU:

Also gives an explanation for the existence of the BMW i3 (other than a perceived threat from Tesla).

The thought that the i3 might be little more than a compliance car, given its
looks and range, is just shocking. Shocking I say!
