The automaker’s decision builds on the expectation that legislation as well as a rapid expansion of accessible high quality charging infrastructure will accelerate consumer acceptance of fully electric cars.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Volvo Cars said it plans to become a fully electric car company by 2030, and intends to only sell EVs and phase out any car in its global portfolio with an internal combustion engine, including hybrids, the automaker said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s transition toward becoming a fully electric car maker is part of its ambitious climate plan, which seeks to consistently reduce the life cycle carbon footprint per car, Volvo said. Its decision also builds on the expectation that legislation as well as a rapid expansion of accessible high quality charging infrastructure will accelerate consumer acceptance of fully electric cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Volvo Cars\u2019 move towards full electrification comes together with an increased focus on online sales and a more complete, attractive and transparent consumer offer under the name Care by Volvo. All fully electric models will be available online only.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo remain successful, we need profitable growth. So instead of investing in a shrinking business, we choose to invest in the future \u2013 electric and online,\u201d said H\u00e5kan Samuelsson, chief executive. \u201cWe are fully focused on becoming a leader in the fast-growing premium electric segment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Volvo Cars launched its first fully electric car, the XC40 Recharge, in markets around the globe last year. Later today the company will reveal its second fully electric car, a new model in the 40 Series, Volvo said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In coming years Volvo Cars will roll out several additional electric models, with more to follow. Already by 2025, it aims for 50% of its global sales to consist of fully electric cars, with the rest hybrids. By 2030, every car it sells will be fully electric.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no long-term future for cars with an internal combustion engine,\u201d said Henrik Green, chief technology officer. \u201cWe are firmly committed to becoming an electric-only car maker and the transition should happen by 2030. 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.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n
