A mate has been waiting for a VW van for a year already.

So its not just electric.  some say second hand costs in the UK are up 50%.

I don't think we're getting our EVs next year.

What are the chances this is a secular trend? In other words, all the people holding old cars or wanting to switch to EV have a pent-up demand that will rise faster than production rises, so there will be a long-term shortage of EVs?
