Among many reasons, gas is very expensive in Europe, much of it is cities that are poorly suited for combustion vehicles (city driving is inefficient, hence burning more gas), many governments are outlawing the sale of new consumer combustion vehicles in a few years to combat climate effects of combustion vehicles (so many people are getting ahead), to facilitate this many counties has increased taxes on combustion vehicles (IIRC Norway or Sweden has like 100% tax on combustion vehicles), so electric vehicles are better positioned price wise in some countries.
