"Bentley's EV Rollout Delayed: Navigating Market Shifts and Technical Hurdles"

Bentley Motors is delaying its plans to exclusively offer all-electric vehicles by the end of the decade due to changing market conditions and challenges in developing its first EV. The company will continue offering plug-in hybrids alongside battery electric vehicles and expects its first EV to be released in 2026, two years later than planned. The delay is attributed to software issues and difficulties in developing the vehicle's architecture to Bentley's standards. Bentley will increase its investment in plug-in hybrids and plans to end production of traditional internal combustion engines.
