Volvo introduced its new electric SUV called C40 Recharge and has decided to continue building several other electric models, so that by 2025, it would already manage to be selling half of its production in purely electric versions. And that’s not all. By 2030, it intends to sell only electric versions of its cars!

C40 Recharge is built on the new platform “CMA”, also the platform for the brand’s other electric models to be developed in the coming years.
