The electrification in the automotive market continues at full speed. After companies such as Tesla that have achieved success with their electric cars, manufacturers that have been operating in this field for years have started to keep up with the trend. Many even announced the date when they would say goodbye to internal combustion engines.
One of the prominent companies in electric cars is Volkswagen. The German giant, which has recently turned its focus here, made an interesting statement that will upset people who want to buy electric cars a while ago.
Volkswagen: There are no electric cars left to sell
As it is known, many factors such as the coronavirus that broke out in 2019, the subsequent chip and supply crisis tied the hands of the manufacturer in automotive as well as in every field. Although the companies spent a lot of time to respond to the intense demand in this process, they realized that this was not possible after a while and started to slow down production to a large extent.
It can be seen that there is a slight recovery on the subject in the latest reports published in the sector, but it is worth noting that the data is still not at the expected level. A new example of this was experienced in the German automotive giant Volkswagen. The CEO of the company, Herbert Diess, told the Financial Times that as of now, stocks in Europe and the USA are exhausted and there is no electric car they can sell.
The interesting thing is that this is not just for Volkswagen. Because brands such as Audi, which continue their activities within the company, also have serious stock problems. For this reason, people who want to buy electric cars in the relevant regions may have to wait until 2023. Finally, let’s also mention that Volkswagen will continue to receive new orders in this process, despite having problems with stocks.
So what do you think about this issue? When do you think a solution to such crises, which causes automakers like Volkswagen to consume all stocks towards the middle of the year, will be found? Do not forget to share your views with us in the comments section or on the SDN Forum.
