Impacted the Industry
Supply chain problems, notably the scarcity of
semiconductors, have impacted the industry, which has impacted the supply
chains for vehicles. In spite of this, there have
been a staggering amount of new electric car registrations. Their number surged
by over 70% in July compared to the same month last year, making up 20% of all
new registrants.
Government incentives for Businesses
Analysts have cautioned, nevertheless, that the
discontinuation of government incentives for businesses to purchase electric
vehicles is expected
to have an impact on the industry beginning in September. Both high exchange
rates and rising interest rates are expected to have an effect on the market.
