Why the delay for electric cars?

Developing a completely new electric vehicle like the Range Rover Electric is a huge undertaking. It involves designing new platforms, sourcing batteries, and retooling factories, as JLR did in Solihull. Delays, like the year-long hold-up mentioned, are common in such complex engineering projects, reflecting the challenges of innovation.
