‘Unprecedented’ global chip shortage pushing electric vehicle delays into years

When Jesse Chiasson called a car dealership last month to buy a new vehicle, he ended up paying $1,000 to be put on a waitlist instead.

“The salesman was pretty vague but hinted it could be 2024 by the time we get the car,” Chiasson said in an interview from Bathurst, N.B.

“Worst-case scenario, we could be waiting as long as three years.”
