It is not like European companies are not investing into EVs

Only Tesla and BYD have large battery production of their own

These two statements seem at odds...

Also volkswagen are building factories and bmw are doing partnerships or something. But yeah, they should've been doing that 10 years ago...

EVs are more the just batteries and both Volkswagen and BMW have set up production lines for EVs they developed themself. That is certainly investment. However they are using batteries from other companies. They are catching up with tesla and BYD by also setting up battery factories now. It is a bit late, but maybe not too late.
