(Reuters) - Aston Martin is delaying the launch of its first electric car because of a lack of consumer demand, it said on Wednesday, as record prices for its luxury and special edition models helped the British carmaker shrink annual losses.
Aston Martin is now targeting the launch of its battery electric vehicle (BEV) in 2026, a year later than planned - becoming the latest automaker to push back electrification goals as investment in capacity and technology has outpaced EV demand.
