06:08 AM EST, 02/21/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Tesla (TSLA), Stellantis ( STLA ) , Volkswagen, and BYD are under investigation by Italy's antitrust agency for reportedly misleading buyers on battery capabilities of their electric vehicles, multiple news outlets reported Friday, citing a statement from the Italian Competition Authority, or AGCM.

The inquiries focus on potentially unfair commercial practices regarding EV driving range, battery capacity degradation, and limitations on battery-related warranties, according to the news outlets.

Inspections were reportedly conducted at the Italian offices of all the automakers on Thursday, with support from Italy's financial crimes police.

Tesla, Stellantis ( STLA ), Volkswagen, and BYD did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
