Why is it taking so long to deliver an electric car?

The growing demand for electric vehicles is clogging up carmakers' production lines. By 2022, there will be no less than 7.8 million electric cars 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.

What's more, the manufacture of electric vehicles requires certain components such as semiconductors that power the batteryThese control the power of the electric motors in the electric vehicle and even the infotainment system. However, manufacturing times for this component have slowed since the pandemic and are difficult to find in large quantities, due to factory delays and the increased demand for electric vehicles.

In addition, due to the rarity 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 logistics issues such as delivery delays or customs problems. All this means longer delivery times for electric vehicles.

To reduce these delays, carmakers are constantly trying to increase production and expand capacityAs a result, suppliers are trying to increase production to meet growing demand.

Tips for reducing the delivery time of an electric car

You've probably heard that some electric cars took more than a year to deliver. However, it is perfectly possible to order an electric vehicle with a delivery time of less than a month. Beev gives you advice on how to optimise delivery times for an electric car.

Plan your electric vehicle purchase in advance

First of all, you should be aware that the purchase or lease of aocation of an electric car is a project that you need to plan ahead for, not least because you need to know which car is right for you.

  • sound autonomy,
  • its functionalities,
  • its load 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 optimise this delivery time, we advise you to opt for electric cars that are already in stock and to be flexible when it comes to options. You will have the possibility of obtaining an electric car from stock within a fortnightHowever, you won't have a choice of colour, rims or technical options.

Choose certain brands of electric cars
