Electric cars are a relatively new type of transport, and therefore their production volumes are not so large, but in terms of the composition of the component base, they are more vulnerable from the point of view of shortages than cars with internal combustion engines. Major manufacturers of electric vehicles have already begun to delay deliveries due to a shortage of components, Ford in this situation offers compensation in the form of free 250 kWh.
At the moment, the Mustang Mach-E is the brand's only mass-produced electric passenger car, and Ford is forced to announcecustomers that the cars produced from June 5 to October 1 will be delayed with delivery for at least six weeks. As soon as electric vehicles are equipped with the necessary chips, future car owners will be notified of the change in delivery status. Every Ford Mustang Mach-E buyer could expect to receive free 250 kWh at branded charging stations in the United States before, but now customers affected by the delay can get another 250 kWh for free. Such a charge is equivalent to about 1,100 km of run, and in monetary terms it pulls $ 77, and this is not very impressive against the background of a significant delay in deliveries, but at least Ford is trying to compensate for the moral costs of buyers. You can spend "free electricity" during the first two years of the warranty period.
In the case of the Tesla Model S, Electrek notes , the impact of chip shortages on delivery times is even less predictable. Many customers have already faced the fact that the VIN assigned to their electric car suddenly disappeared from the account on the Tesla website, and the estimated delivery date was constantly shifting. August deliveries have been postponed to October, but there are also cases of delayed shipment of Tesla Model S until February next year. Unlike Ford, which directly refers to the shortage of chips, Tesla simply does not name the reasons for the delay in deliveries of Model S electric vehicles in its communication with customers.
