What a dumb post, well over 90 %, probably about 95 % of the vehicles that were taken of the production schedules were models with an internal combustion engine. There's a chip shortage in the automotive sector because:

- few car makers used to hold significant amounts of chips in inventory, because they relied on just in time delivery and wanted less capital costs
- car makers had reduced their order volumes, because they didn't expect such a fast recovery of the demand for cars
- demand from non-automotive sectors for chips is booming, for example due to the work from home trend.
- chip production disruptions due to Covid19, for example recently in Malaysia
