They made this announcement this week. I own and like a Volvo. I believe it saved her from injuries in a recent accident she was in.
I will not buy an electric powered vehicle. I have several reasons. There are no recharging stations near me. I would have to find recharging stations near my travels as they sometimes exceed the capacities of existing vehicles. Will the gov't provide more subsidies? I really don't like that idea. I will not install an expensive charging station; it's not like using an extension cord to power a block heater.
I guess I am a dinosaur because I do not understand the reasoning by Volvo and their insistence to force such a change. I don't know if I will be alive by then, let alone my circumstances.
