North America Automakers Still to Have Plenty of ICE Vehicle Capacity by 2030

At the vehicle-plant level, there will be more than enough capacity in place to meet rising BEV demand over the next seven years. However, although there still is time to accelerate (or pull back) on current BEV plans, there will remain enough flexibility for automakers in North America to continue using up to 80% of their capacity for ICE vehicles in 2030.
