Je ne savais pas où poster, mais vu que ça touche à l'automobile en général :
A flurry of headlines this week confirms: the electric vehicle (EV) transition is decelerating.
On Monday, Porsche poured cold water on its transition to EVs, saying in a statement that the “transition to electric cars is taking longer than we thought five years ago”. Then, yesterday, General Motors said it would delay plans for its Buick EV and postpone a new electric factory in Michigan, before Tesla revealed a 45% slump in profits, facing slower demand (although the company did report significant growth in its energy generation and storage business).
These latest delays follow similar decisions at Ford, Nissan, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz, who have also eased off the accelerator in their race to boost EV production.
Despite EV sales skyrocketing from 3 million in 2021 to almost 14 million last year, both established carmakers and startups are seeing softer demand. As a result, dealerships are now grappling with parking lots full of EVs. According to data from Cox Automotive cited by The Wall Street Journal, the average dealership held a 125-day supply of EVs as of early June.
