Volvo shocks the auto industry: Abandons electric vehicle future!

Volvo has stunned the automotive world by abandoning its ambitious plan for an all-electric future. Once seen as a leader in the shift to electric vehicles, the company has now shifted gears, raising questions about the future of EVs in the industry. This unexpected move is set to spark debate about the viability of electric cars and the future of sustainable transportation.

Volvo ICE vehicles are some of the cleanest on the planet, far cleaner than any EV!!

Volvo is not the Volvo it used to be. their cars are look nice, but they sure don’t hold up.

Motor manufacturers are blinded by their own stupidity. The general public do not want EVs and a large percentage of people do not want Hybrids either.

I had a fully electric car until this year. Sadly, not enough people want to make the transition to charging a battery over the few minutes it takes to refill a petrol or diesel tank.

Manufactures that are disgusted by their customers, will go under. Volvo is a typical example.

Wish I could buy up a truckload of old Volvo’s 😎

Volvo seems to have lost its way and integrity since about 2016, just another badge now.

Volvo is adapting to the market, they'll die if they don't.

Hasn't stopped Tesla being 100% electric cars. The Volvo EX30 is a very desirable EV that is selling well.

Companies that make EVs or hybrids will not survive long term. The manufacturer's that continues to make ICE vehicles will survive. And public charging points local to me are rarely seen charging a vehicle.
Because normal people with common sense don't have a EV. Diesel will be the main fuel for decades to come.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we already had the infrastructure established for over 100 years that would power everything with a much more suitable, less expensive, stable, available and reliable fuel source which was also becoming cleaner by the decade, without having to waste trillions of dollars attempting to invent something that's never going to work, simply unneeded, dangerous, un-asked for and unwanted.

As soon as Harris takes office, she must order him to the White House and tell him he must continue building EVs. Harris, Harris, she's the rarest!

BEVs have peaked, and folks want convenience with there electric car
Hybrids are the answer.
