Chip shortage: accelerate or delay transition to EVs?

With the chip shortage not abating, and auto production at less than full output, what impact will this have on the very public statements of carmakers to transition to a EVs as a high proportion of their total production?

Do EVs have more chips, or fewer chips, than ICE vehicles?

Will the current chip situation speed up, or delay, the transition to EVs?

I have first hand real time inside information on production rates, and they are far from full output. The expectation is to be at less than full output until as late as 2023.

p.s. I searched the non-BMW section of the site and didn't find a similar topic before posting this one.
