A year ago, Volvo unveiled the Volvo Concept 40.1—one of two sleek and sporty concept cars to introduce its new compact platform. The design accommodates electric and plug-in hybrid batteries.
Volvo wants to be a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles. The EV goals expressed by the Swedish automaker, which is owned by Chinese company Geely, echoes similar claims by several manufacturers such as BMW, Ford and Volkswagen. These carmakers have announced big plans but have not yet produced electric cars in significant volumes. The first test of Volvo’s commitment will be delivering on its plans to debut its first all-electric model in 2019.
The new Volvo EV is expected to rival the Chevy Bolt and Tesla Model 3 regarding range and cost. It’s likely to use the company’s small 40-series platform, sell for under $40,000, and offer a driving range of about 250 miles.
