Volvo announced that the brand will become a fully electric car company by 2030. This means that from that date onwards, the Swedish auto manufacturer will only be selling electric cars and phase out any cars in its line with internal combustion engines, including hybrids. Since its launch of the XC40 and C40 Recharge Pure electric models, Volvo has been leading with progressive improvements to both its pure electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) lineups, with all models having a plug-in variant. With the next generation XC90 due to be updated in 2024 as the all electric EX90 and the announcement of the all electric EX30, Volvo is set to reach its goal of becoming a 100% electric automaker.
The Volvo XC40 & C40 Recharge, the electric version of the gas powered XC40, is the first fully electric vehicle (EV). Beginning as a singular twin-motor variant has grown to include a longer-range rear-wheel drive (RWD) model good for almost 300 miles between charges.
