Volvo Commits to All-Electric Future, EX30 Takes the Lead.

Volvo has pledged to sell only full-electric vehicles after 2030, without any exceptions.

While this could potentially cost the company in markets that aren't ready for EVs, Volvo's CEO, Jim Rowan, said that the company would "gain a lot more than we sacrifice." Market projections suggest that EVs will only make up 27% of the US market's sales by 2030.
