Volkswagen boss will sell more electric cars than Tesla by 2025

Brighter for semiconductors?

A lack of critical input factors, particularly battery production, is expected to limit growth in electric vehicle sales this coming year, but Dess believes he sees a pullback in semiconductor supply chains later this year.
