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.
