Volkswagen is one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers. The company has cars with both electric and internal combustion engines. The brand, which is very popular thanks to the quality it offers, can reach good sales figures around the world.
The demand for electric cars has increased, especially as a result of the increase in fuel prices worldwide. Therefore, there has been an increase in the market share of electric cars in many countries. A statement proving this information came from the world giant Volkswagen. Volkswagen has announced that some electric car models are sold out by 2023.
Volkswagen announced that its electric cars are sold out!
Volkswagen AG Finance Director Arno Antlitz made a new statement. Antlitz included important information about the company’s electric car sales in an interview via Bloomberg. According to the statement, due to the increase in the sales of some of the company’s electric cars, the vehicles were sold out until the beginning of 2023.
In addition, Arno Antlitz stated in his statement that inexhaustible models have very long delivery times. This shows us that many users prefer electric cars over fossil fuel vehicles. In addition, the company announced that they made a large profit due to the increase in electric car sales.
According to the published data, Volkswagen AG group, which includes brands such as Porsche, Audi, Seat and Skoda, sold 762,400 electric cars in 2021. This figure is 81 percent higher than in 2020. In addition, 452,900 of these sales were completely electric cars.
The biggest reason for the increase in waiting times in non-exhaustible models is the Russia-Ukraine war. Due to this war, many disruptions occur in supply chains and raw material prices around the world are increasing day by day. Due to these increases, automobile manufacturers cannot fully produce.
According to studies by some analysts, automobile production may decrease by 700 thousand units in the first half of 2022 due to these crises. This may cause the shortage of cars we experience in 2020. So, what are your thoughts? Do you think Volkswagen group’s electric car sales will increase gradually?
