Some EVs are likely to dampen the impact of the chip shortage as they could use less chips than some of the legacy peers. For instance, Canoo will use half the number of chips.

It will likely come down to contracts if the various companies are relying on the same suppliers for chips. Probably supplying the big names first before the smaller EV players. I would imagine internally for the big players they are prioritizing trucks and SUVs for chip supplies than sedans or EVs.

If I had to guess and this supply constraint lasts for the next year or so it would likely delay EV adoption.
