Volvo To Make Only Electric Vehicles By 2030 by Raalsalghul(op): 9:34pm On Mar 02, 2021

Volvo says it will make only electric vehicles by 2030. But if you want one, you’ll have to buy it online.

The Swedish automaker said Tuesday that it is phasing out the production of all cars with internal combustion engines — including hybrids.

“There is no long-term future for cars with an internal combustion engine,” said Henrik Green, Volvo’s chief technology officer.

Volvo’s announcement follows General Motors’ pledge earlier this year to make only battery-powered vehicles by 2035.
Volvo also said that, while its all-electric vehicles will be sold exclusively online, dealerships will “remain a crucial part of the customer experience and will continue to be responsible for a variety of important services such as selling, preparing, delivering and servicing cars.”

As part of the announcement Tuesday, the Swedish automaker will unveil its second fully electric car, a follow-up to last year’s XC40 Recharge, a compact SUV. Volvo said its goal is to have half of its global sales to be fully electric cars by 2025, with the remaining half made up of hybrids.

Automakers around the world are ramping up production of electric vehicles as charging technology improves and governments impose stricter pollution regulations.

“We are firmly committed to becoming an electric-only car maker,” Green said. “It will allow us to meet the expectations of our customers and be a part of the solution when it comes to fighting climate change.”

Despite the rising number of EVs available in the U.S., fully electric vehicles accounted for less than 2% of new vehicle sales last year. Americans continue to spend record amounts on gas-powered trucks and SUVs.

About 2.5 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide last year and industry analyst IHS Markit forecasts that to increase by 70% in 2021.

Volvo says it sold 661,713 cars in about 100 countries cars worldwide in 2020. According to Autodata Corp., 107,626 of those vehicles were sold in the U.S.

Founded in 1927, Volvo Cars has been owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group since 2010.

Doesn't really make any difference for third world countries like Nigeria. No free lunch anywhere, even in heaven.

Its electric energy is still remotely from fossil fuel.

Yes, it uses bank of batteries, but how do you charge those batteries? And pls, no illiterate should start telling me the alternator will do that job. The bulk of the electric energy goes into propulsion and very little is left to charge which is grossly insignificant.

To charge the battery, you need electricity and how do you get electricity? Dams? A big joke. Solar? Another big joke. Wind? A bigger joke.

Countries with nuclear power stations are the only beneficiaries because electricity is almost free.

But for countries like Nigeria, no significant difference. Most of our power stations are gas or diesel driven.

the world is moving progressively rapidly...

Nigeria still looking at Refineries.

Funny enough, other oil producing nations such as UAE, Qatar,Saudi made full use of the oil proceeds unlike the supposed Giant, abi gigantic dwarf of Africa where resources was grossly mismanaged for many decades.

Indeed, the words of elders, if you fail to plan, u already have planned to fail.
