Summary: The text discusses the challenges faced by electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers due to the global shortage of semiconductors. The semiconductor chips are essential components in EVs for functions such as controlling the battery management system and powering the infotainment systems. However, the shortage of these chips has resulted in production delays and reduced output for many car manufacturers, including those in the EV industry. This has led to a decrease in EV sales and potential revenue losses for companies that are striving to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles. In response to this crisis, EV manufacturers are working closely with chip suppliers to address the issue, while also exploring alternative options to mitigate the impact of the semiconductor shortage on their production capabilities.
