Why does it take so long to deliver an electric car?
Growing demand for electric vehicles is clogging up automakers' production lines. In 2022, no fewer than 7.8 million electric cars were sold worldwide, an increase of 68% on the previous year. As a result, factories have had to adjust production to meet customer needs, leading to further delays.
In addition, the manufacture of electric vehicles requires certain components such as semiconductors, which power the battery, control the power of the electric vehicle's electric motors and even the infotainment system. However, manufacturing lead times for this component have slowed since the pandemic and are difficult to find in large quantities, due to factory delays and increased demand for electric vehicles.
In addition, due to the scarcity of this product, choosing a particular electric vehicle with more options can lead to longer delivery times, as manufacturers use it for their best-selling models. It is estimated that this shortage will have a significant impact by the end of 2023. Finally, delivery delays can also be linked to logistical problems such as delivery delays or customs issues. All this means longer delivery times for electric vehicles.
To reduce these delays, automakers are constantly trying to increase production and capacity, and suppliers are trying to increase production to meet growing demand.
Tips to reduce the delivery time of an electric car
You've probably heard that some electric cars take over a year to be delivered. However, it's perfectly possible to order an electric vehicle with a delivery time of less than a month. Here's Beev 's advice on how to optimize the delivery time of an electric car.
Anticipate your electric vehicle acquisition project
First of all, buying orleasing an electric car is a project you need to plan ahead for, not least because you need to know which car is right for you. As a professional, and depending on your activity, your car will be much more than just a means of transport. You need to choose your electric vehicle on the basis of :
- autonomy,
- its features,
- loading capacity.
So it's important to plan ahead, because if you want a specific electric car with lots of options, delivery times will be longer.
To optimize this delivery time, we advise you to opt for electric cars already in stock and to be flexible on options. In fact, you'll be able to get an electric car in stock within a fortnight, but you won't have a choice of color, rims or technical options.
Choose certain brands of electric cars
If you still want to choose options for your electric car, you should know that there are certain electric car brands for fast delivery.
To make the process of buying or leasing your electric vehicle as easy as possible, Beev will accompany you from the creation of your project right through to its completion. Our experts in soft mobility work in partnership with suppliers so that you can benefit from the best delivery times for your electric car.
