MG halts sales of its affordable EVs to UK car buyers

MG Motor UK has halted its sales of affordable electric vehicles (EV) as it aims to meet an “unprecedented level of demand” amid global semiconductor supply shortages.

A statement issued to AM by the Chinese-owned carmaker’s UK operation said that it had stopped taking orders of the MG ZS EV SUV  launched in November last year as it battled to meet its current order take.

It placed its final order for the MG5 estate car earlier this year, meanwhile, ahead of the launch of an updated version expected in Q4.
