Is anyone surprised by this? Europeans still vividly remember, and are reminded, of the cost of WWII. When the head of a company, no matter how trendy, sieg heils on stage (twice!) and then goes on to publicly appear at far-right german political rallies - europeans take note, and act accordingly.

Those would all affect the rest of the EV market too, but overall that is up.

How about the US EV market in Europe?

There is effectively none, besides Tesla. With the exception of Ford the US brands' Europe strategy essentially died in the financial crisis, and even Ford (which historically was a big player in Europe and designed cars specifically for the market) isn't what it was.
