- Volkswagen AG VWAGY Chief Executive Officer Herbert Diess said delivery times for electric vehicles are likely to get quicker, CNBC reported.
- Semiconductor shortage has been a major roadblock for automotive manufacturers to match demand and supply.
- "We're trying to keep delivery times short," the report quoted Diess, "but we have a lead time of a year or so currently, so we are ramping up production."
- The CEO also added that the demand for electric vehicles has shot up in Europe and the U.S.
- The report noted Volkswagen expects to garner at least 70% of its European revenue from electric cars and 50% in China and North America by 2030.
