The Volkswagen Group has confirmed that customer deliveries of some of its EV models won’t take place until 2023.
The firm, which owns brands such as Skoda, Cupra and Audi, has blamed the ongoing semiconductor shortage, as well as the war in Ukraine, for supply issues that are affecting vehicle production.
VW boss Herbert Diess confirmed an order backlog in western Europe of 300,000 electric cars, reports the Financial Times. He added that EVs in both the US and Europe “are basically sold out” for the rest of 2022.
However, in a statement to Autocar, the group said that some models are still available for delivery this year.
