Volvo has announced it will abandon its ambitious plan to sell only fully electric cars by 2030.
The Swedish company announced on Wednesday it is now aiming for 90-100 per cent of its global sales to be either pure electric or plug-in hybrid at that point.
It said this will “allow for a limited number of mild hybrid models to be sold, if needed”.
As predicted, a rope cannot be pushed uphill.
“European Carmakers Dial Down EV Ambitions. Europe’s leading carmakers Volkswagen and Volvo have corrected their EV strategies to the downside, with the former closing EV operations in Europe due to slower demand and the latter giving up on a strict mandate of producing only emissions-free cars by 2030.” – excerpted from Oilprice.com
The all electric volvo EX90. nicely equipped from $115,300.60 CND.
Only 90% and over EVs? I expect them to be abandoning that target as well.
And soon.
The competition is fierce
Ikea – Swedish for common sense
Volvo – Swedish for going bankrupt
“emissions free” people are stupid.
“mild hybrid ”
Boy, if want to sell cars, put that on the banner in the showroom!
Genius!
Stick with the common sense alternative, Hybrid
From an environmental point of view, which is what we’re supposed to be doing :-), big battery equals big problems less big battery equalsless big problems, very small battery equals very small problems
