Volkswagen’s ID Polo and Škoda’s Epiq electric vehicles are facing significant delays, with customers potentially waiting up to 10 months for delivery, highlighting strong but unmet demand for budget-friendly electric models. The backlog underscores how automakers are struggling to keep pace with consumer interest in affordable EVs, even as production ramps up. Industry analysts suggest the situation reflects both supply chain challenges and the growing shift toward electrification in the compact car segment. With more manufacturers planning to enter the sub-$30,000 EV market, the bottleneck could persist unless production scales more quickly.
