DRIVERS have been warned over a major issue that will see a massive blow to the EV industry.
The power and energy sector is said to be suffering an acute problem with a lack of high-voltage transformers which are needed to expand the energy network.
According to a Daily Telegraph report, without the transformers supply will struggle to meet the rising demand as countries move to increased use of EVs in the drive to meet net zero goals.
The industry is reporting lead times of as much as four years to acquire new ones.
Most transformers are thought to be sourced overseas with China often controlling the supply chains.
