When it comes to electric cars, Tesla is definitely a star brand, not only in North America and China, but also very popular in the European market. However, as the public gradually develops electrification, the pressure on Tesla has begun to increase. Data shows that Volkswagen sold nearly 100,000 electric vehicles in the first quarter of this year, compared with about 310,000 Tesla sales in the same period. Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess said last week that the company had “basically sold out its electric vehicle capacity in Europe and the U.S.” this year. This means that all European and American consumers who want to buy a Volkswagen-branded electric car may have to wait until 2023, while he also said that the company is working to solve production problems caused by chip shortages. It is understood that with many users waiting to buy electric vehicles, Volkswagen expects the backlog of orders to continue to grow, but ongoing supply chain problems have kept electric vehicles in short supply. Coupled with a global shortage of chips, almost all automakers have been forced to stop or slow down production, and some have even cut some features in their cars to increase production capacity. In addition, the batteries needed for electric vehicles are also in supply.
