The Italian Antitrust Authority said on Friday that it has opened four probes into BYD Industria Italia s.r.l., Stellantis Europe S.p.A., Tesla Italy s.r.l.
and Volkswagen Group Italia S.p.A.
over possible unfair commercial
practices.
The investigations concern information provided to consumers
regarding the driving range of electrical vehicles, battery
capacity degradation and operational limitats on standard
battery warranties, which could have breached the Consumer Code,
the agency said in a statement.
The Antitrust explained that it carried out inspections on
Thursday at the Italian headquarters of the four automakers,
aided by the finance police's special antitrust unit.
