Supply chain contracts of batteries and new raw materials, software, efficient electric engines, aerodynamics, battery management, software, charging stations, vehicle platform design, cheaper manufacturing, trained workers, experienced engineers…
There are a lot of elements and some will fall because they waited too much. VW for example is having huge delays due to software and also prices (even though in China they have no problem selling the IDs for half price than in Europe…)
