Global automakers are recalibrating electrification roadmaps, reallocating capital toward plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in response to slowing growth in fully electric vehicle (BEV) adoption. Supply chain realignments reflect consumer hesitation over charging infrastructure and capital costs.
Capital Realignment Across Assembly Facilities
Leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have delayed planned capital expenditures for dedicated BEV assembly facilities. Instead, factories are being retooled to support flexible platforms capable of producing internal combustion, hybrid, and fully electric powertrains on a single assembly line.
