delivery times of one year in the case of electric models such as the Kia E-Niro and the VW e-up family (which also includes the Seat Mii electric, and the Škoda Citigo iV), a year and a half of waiting, the Peugeot e-208, and an order to stop for the Mercedes A 250e Plug-in Hybrid: is an increasing demand for electric cars and some manufacturers do not afterwards appear to come with the deliveries. But why is that? Should have the car manufacturers not only because of the compliance with the CO2 limits in the European Union – there is a great interest to meet the demand as soon as possible?
“In the first half of the year has doubled, the electric-sales in Germany, compared to the prior-year period, almost. The upward trend is likely to continue, thanks to the recent funding award from Berlin,” writes the Süddeutsche Zeitung. To have witnessed the beginning of the year, small Stromer is a large demand. Then the Corona came pandemic, and the production had to be suspended in most of the large car factories in the Western world, at least temporarily. Since the production could start up again, however, increased demand is also strong, which means that the car manufacturer can’t keep up with the production seemingly. A current Overview of the actual delivery times for Stromer here you will find Germany’s largest electric Portal EFAHRER.com.
electric cars: limited capacities
in the first half of the year, VW was able to sell more battery electric vehicles than in the entire previous year. “The production will be screwed up, but the year planning were just 20 000 e-up and the capacities of the suppliers are limited,” says a VW spokesman with the SZ. Blame the suppliers, not be in this case, but rather the newspaper, but the sales planning for the still unpopular niche models writes.

It is now well known that the Traditional car makers were ill-prepared for the Transformation in the area of mobility. The former Audi chief Peter Mertens has accepted in the meantime. So far, the electricity for the car manufacturer is apparently only a means to an end, to the new CO2 limits in the EU just so they comply with them.
Volkswagen did sell in the last ten years, only 250 000 Stromer. That’s the equivalent of 0.25 of a percentage of the total volume of nearly 100 million vehicles produced at VW. In terms of sales and production planners in such a small series enjoy a good reputation, especially since they are usually very very lucrative. VW group boss Herbert Diess complained recently that every electric car fails in the group, thousands of Euro loss to beech.

The Problem: electric vehicles are the seasoned car farmers is lagging behind. The list of ‘pure’ electric cars, which were also designed from the outset as the Stromer, is short: As the models from Tesla, BMW i3 and the soon to be released hope VW ID would be.3. These vehicles have their own electrical platform and your own battery production. In contrast, the VW E-Up and e-Golf only converted gas, without designated space for the battery, which had to be at random in the sub-soil ‘squashed’. The installation and the wiring are, as before, by hand and therefore very expensive. This also means that the margins are low and the production of such complex small series, not just double, just because the demand in the height of shoots.
the Unknown E-future – VW “driving on sight”
What matters, understood the industry leader Tesla for years: Only with one’s own, as high as possible-automated battery manufacturing production numbers and profit margins. Even with VW one has to understand the now, therefore, the plant in Zwickau was rebuilt, too expensive and with its own battery production. The cells are, however, still of suppliers, among which the big names themselves are still struggling with problems. A lot of gas, little electricity: a Plug-In Hybrid make sense?

A good example of the industry leader, LG Chem is The company was struggling during the start-up of the new factory in Poland with great difficulties, which is delivered and expressed in quality problems in the cells. For this reason, the Audi plant in Brussels was able to build last year instead of the planned 50,000 e-tron only 20,000 pieces.
How will it go with the traditional brands, is unclear. In the case of VW it is, at the Start of the ID.3 with respect to the SZ: “We continue to view.” Nobody would dare, in the face of the due to the Corona pandemic is extremely hot-headed supply chains in a forecast. Thomas Ingenlath, chief of the Swedish manufacturer of Performance electric cars, Polestar, believes in a fundamental change in the industry and calls for more risk-taking by the car manufacturers. The first pure electric car brand, the Polestar 2, should come in August with a starting volume of almost 20,000 units on the market. Tesla plans to build in Germany alone 500,000 electric cars annually, once the Gigafactory Brandenburg is completed.
