While it's a larger pause than normal, this actually seems to happen quite a lot when a manufacturer dumps an old EV platform; there was a gap between the Renault Zoe and 5, and between the second and third gen Leaf, say. I assume it's partially for retooling, but also "why not buy this car built on a 15 year old EV platform, btw its replacement is coming out next week" seems like a _very_ hard sell.
