Face up to it: turbulence is ongoing
THERE’s no getting away from it. The auto industry remains in delivery turmoil, with little predictability over when a new car will arrive. In fact, the only given is that delivery waits are affecting EVs most. I met a friend for Sunday lunch, who has leased a series of BMW X5/6s but is looking for electric this time. Told him to start now: Lee Jones of Fleet Procure tells me wait times are nine to 12 months. There’s more analysis in our lead story while we also take a look at what 2023 registrations are likely to bring according to Cox Automotive.
