The Chinese-owned carmaker announced plans on Tuesday to stop selling cars that run on fossil fuels by 2030, part of an accelerating trend within the industry to respond to pressure to tackle the climate crisis. It also said that its new electric vehicles will only be sold online. The Swedish brand said that as part of the transition, it wants half of its sales in 2025 to be electric cars, and the other half hybrids.
Pricing will be transparent, it said. The strategy is similar to the one used by electric car market leader Tesla, which only sells online. The announcements come less than a week after Volvo's owner, Geely , scrapped plans to merge the carmakers. China's largest independent automaker said the two companies will keep their independent corporate structures, though they will partner on electric and autonomous driving technology.
Ewww Chinese news network or communist news network. They plagerize alot..
I would never by a Volvo with it being own by Chinese company (which always has a Gov’t connection). Also if I can’t see it or sit in it or drive, no thanks. Buying online seem silly when you have to see it to compare.
I'm willing to pay double to never have to talk to another slimey car salesman again. Looking at you Toyota. I love my prius (we have 2) but I had to wade through so much BS at the car lot to get it. Portland car salesmen are vile. I want my next car purchase totally online.
Interesting how so many small automakers are going electric while 1 Toyota is still offering only hybrids for improving fuel econmy. 🤔 I wonder why?
Where the power plants going to come from to generate the electricity for all these electric cars
Well well well..... n0work01 😃
The end of Volvo
Just waiting for the cancel culture crazies to start screaming about this
Oh, like what Tesla is doing now.
Only online? Good thing I never wanted to buy a Volvo!
Hate all dealerships.. owned or managed by the most unsavory sort.
Okay okay, what do you do with the batteries when they fully die and can’t be used again Put them in the Earth which is high toxic? Yeah funny.
Because every house has its own garage? These people know nothing about urban living.
Not a bad thing.
What kind of backup system do they have? Like when is in Texas had GovAbbott become an idiot with ERCOT_ISO and we had no power for a week or more? How do you charge them, or do they also use fuel?
Say goodbye to negotiating better prices
Great! I live in Texas and Austin's government voted for alternative transportation! Its gonna be cheaper in my opinion than trying to keep up with all the roads they'll have to build and are behind the anyway! I ride the bus! Plan my trips, multiTaskAppt,kill2bird1Stn
That's cool, i think other manufacturers will follow Volvo's example.
If everyone moved to electric cars the power grid would not be able to sustain itself.
👏 volvocars for this clear commitment on ClimateAction
I would never buy a car without seeing it firsr. I like to see them in person, sit in them and get a feel for how the car fits me
At least the tenth time I’ve seen this exact tweet from CNN on my timeline - How much is Volvo paying you to advertise on your twitterfeed ?
It is going to be a long decade! ElectricVehicles
I will stick to a truck. Gas or diesel. Plus who would buy a vehicle with out test driving it first.
So what I’m hearing here is another profession wiped out because of the internet. Sorry salesperson you have the lazy American that doesn’t crave the physical interactions anymore to blame.
So how long does it take to charge the battery to full?

Wow
I hope they go back on this decision and at least have a few places for you to see the cars in the flesh and test drive them. And as for going 100% electric, I'm not sure this is the best thing for them as a company. Time will tell
Yes, but will they still pay me to come pick it up in Sweden?
Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison would be happy.
So late to the game but glad to see the ambition and effort
Cool
That tha.lich su.em o quan binh tan.
Of course, you won't be able to drive it in Texas in the winter.
Cool. Now make it affordable and I would buy it
How does sub zero temperatures effect electric cars? And with the Democrats basically want to shut down fossil fuels in the U.S where is the power going to come from?
Too bad they don’t have global superchargers.
Never buy a Volvo= sekt
They keep saying that, yet nothing ever happens.
Yeah watch this never happen!
Most car manufacturers have already stated this fact that
Given the cost of these eclectic cars and the up keep ,how with out going into debit can a standard family afford one
That is around the time Saudi Arabia is supposed to run out of oil! 🤔 it makes sense to me!
And folks thought Ford stocks were low....
the mind controller constantly asks me to tell him what I wrote here, my predictions, without telling you giving me shit
Buhari is busy here doing oil exploration in the Chad basin while the world have moved. Did I call him Buhari- ahh why didn't Biden call him? Maybe there is no Buhari in Aso rock. We will purchase Volvo online. We can't be left behind.
The roof will have both solar and lunar panels, so it can recharge the battery all 24 hours. Ingenious.
15 years behind Tesla 😉🤣, keep on the good work 👍👍elonmusk
Volvo will do that 18 years later than Tesla. Volvo will be (most likely) faster than any other legacy carmaker. Well, steps in the right direction.
Price? Probably not affordable Thanks, but no, I'll use petrol forever.
I won’t buy one.
And it’s started ...
Who buys Volvo’s anyway 🙄
and what happens if there's no electricity to be had..

Fire up the fossil fuel plants to generate needed electricity
Fuck electric cars. Gimme v8s till I die
I'm sure staff at Volvo dealerships will be thrilled to hear they won't have a job by 2030.
gerçekten harika elektirikli oto sayısı yükselmesi gerek insan saglıgı için çok önemli
I doubt it will be affordable for the average working person. Circa £30,000 for an all electric car at the moment 😬
Why doesn’t Volvo stop making internal combustion engines today?
This won’t end well..
I'm really going to miss car salesmen.
Sad.
Excellent
50 years too late
I got the XC 60 hybrid, very nice car

How are people going to afford electric cars in future? Most homes can’t be set up with charging ports and a base model electric vehicle runs from 40-80k.
Get paid to Sell/Post on BigDeal Business.
I will still own the same cars in ten years........might add a hummer and just leave it running all day and night to piss you off.
Yep, just take your time. It's not like the world will literally burn and drown because of your otiose actions.
For rich people only
great no more car dealer what about electricity ? going nuclear ? its not green ? what to do with the battery ? price of metals, electricity will go up, cows pollute a lot what to do ? no meat ? no airplane ?
Darn.
_AmenCorner__ be a trend setter!
Would love to see the size of the batty in this volvo.
I hope their prices drop. They are ridiculous price. I would buy one now but would need several bank loans.
Bold. Progress. Innovation.❤
The Commitment is Real!
What if you owned an electric car during a natural disaster, like Texas when the grid went down? Or, a fire in CA during a brown out? How do you evacuate with no juice?Drive your gas riding lawnmower out of town?
😥
Has anyone ever seen how batteries are produced ? No? Just because we live in a bubble we don’t think these cars cause pollution. Wrong.
They are renaming it Vulva. It'll be the ultimate chick car.

Until they see their sales drop because people can't afford an electric car... ...let alone the infrastructure not being there to properly maintain the car, like charging points on route, the limited batttery power, the cost of charging at home...

I am getting one right now. I need a bullet proved .
bsdhanoa Way too late...
Come on! If Germany changes all their transport to electric it means Germany has to more than double electricity production! And the electricity supply should be able to supply at night cos most people charge their cars at night when there is no solar power!
Goodbye to Volvo. Guess they want to go out of business.
I'm not replacing my diesel car with diesel. I'm planning on buying electric in the next 3 years. I'm holding on to my 10 year old car and going fully electric
COVID-19 IS A SCAM❗❗️❗️David Icke . com
Hard to undestand. Expensive , short range, take forever to recharge. And they dont do that much for the enviroment either
bsdhanoa How is electricity produced. Fossil fuel ?
Well I don't buy cars on line . So I guess I will not be owning one.
Interesting - Volvo's two largest markets are China (25%) and the US (17%). China is currently the largest producer of renewable energy and inlarticular renewable electricity, almost double that of the US (2nd)....Sweden is the 3rd largest market at 7% and 55% energy is renewable
Doesn’t bode well for Volvo dealerships.
What if you can only drive a gas vehicle on the weekends? How about $2000 per year to insure an electric car. $10,000 a year to insure & drive same size gas car? Your gas car becomes high risk vehicle in collision w a battery car fuel igniting explosive batteries, talks are real
Good, no one needs greedy car salesmen / dealerships who middle man the factories. Totally unnecessary greed, other countries have cut the middle man out for decades.
Will you return it by UPS for repairs?
Sadly this business model isnt only Volvo. The new global Stellantis formerly known Fiat Chrysler Automotive now looking to do some big things globally after acquiring Peugeot now may eliminate half of the Chrysler Dodge marks even bringing in an 1000 hp electric muscle car
The ones that suffered from Sept to Dec throughout the holidays waiting for Fpuc to pass in another bill deserve retroactive Fpuc for four months. It’s absurd & inhumane to leave people out of this when ones before Aug got Fpuc & ones after Dec get Fpuc!
Let's hope the rest of the world follows suit. But we do need to think about charging point infrastructure. It's the only thing holding back quicker implementation.
CATejas and thats how its done!
The overwhelming majority of humans that own vehicles don't own a home and could not possibly charge an electric car they live in apartments. in apartment complexes with no access to charging and until that changes anybody going completely electric is going out of business
and Everything you touch is grounded.😁
Better start mining a shit ton of coal.
Wow! 😮
cnnbrk Gemini . bitcoin of American have the best customer care in business. For those who are going to trade with company like Gemini trust company you are at your own risk. Gemini is holding my money for 2month now no word from support am hurt .
Say goodbye to Volvo
These delivery test programs are already in effect & working like Carvana , Enterprise , Carmax , Truecar , Joydrive. Car dealer owners can downsize from 3 to 8 acres 1-2 acres , less employees less business insurance order the exact vehicles needed, more profit.
No self respecting American drives a Volvo.
Kiss those sales goodbye
That's so cool!
Most cars are going electric in many countries. This is a wake up call /reminder to 🇳🇬NNPCgroup firsNigeria NigeriaGov NGRPresident that fossil fuel days days are numbered. Agriculture, solid minerals, technology is the way
So Volvo sales will plummet then ? Petrol Volvo XC40.....£33,000 Predicted cost of All Electric XC40....£60,000 My prediction....quiet roads....only the middle class will be able to afford to drive.
Meaning energetic pleasurable driving days are coming to an end😒
Volvo is Latin for 'I roll'
That's unfortunate. Volvo's are one of the better made cars.
Good Fucking Dealerships are Bullshit!!!
If I don't 👀 it drive it. I don't buy it. Trusting in 2021 🔥

Recently my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia & needs a stem cell transplant. Jason & his wife are first-time parents caring for a sick baby & could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
That’s the end of Volvo
All our cars should be electric at this point
Then I won't buy one ... like buying a house you never see ... bonkers ...
And if there's a problem like, wrong colour or not what you expected call DHL for a return?
Wow, sound like tesla...
And you’ll only be able to buy it if you’re rich.
🐇⚡🌩⛈🚗
why？
That will be great news. To be able to start a new decade with optimism
sounds like Tesla
Shouldn’t the electrical grid be updated first?
by the end of the decade who gives a fuck. open the economy or theres no point in owning a car
So I’m not buying a Volvo is what you mean
I don’t have car insurance
54% of cars sold in Norway in 2020 were fully electric — add plug-in hybrids to the mix, and that figure tops 80%.
And you’ll buy it with dogecoin
By the end of the decade, the only Volvo you'll be able to purchase will be electric. And you'll only be able to buy it online; assuming that you can order it before the next blackout.
Just remember how apple slowed down phones to save battery. Can't beat physics. That new car will go half as far within a few years
ugh
Buying them online, is a clear sign, that the cars will be way expensive,
And all that electricity will come from nuclear and coal.👍
Still a volvo
Of course, way less expensive to make and can charge way way more.
Will be it be delivered ...on line of as well?
And they get cobalt for the battery from child slave mines in the Congo😂so green and woke😂
Need more charging stations
That's the Tesla ways... humm let's see what the American car makers will do with their mammoth sells and service (20% to 25 %) cars value
So where are people supposed to charge it? Unless charging takes under 10 minutes and there are as many charging stations as gas stations many people can’t even consider them.

No doubt we’ll still be in lockdown then do the only place you’ll drive this is to the supermarket.
Thanks CNN for the high gas/diesel prices. Because of your lies and deception Joe Biden got elected and killed thousands of jobs on day one, (keystone pipeline). Thousands of lives were lost in New York because you failed to talk about Andrew Cuomo.
UROCKlive1 And if you live in a townhouse without a garage, where am I supposed to plug it in?
And further into the future, when society realizes that even electric cars pollute directly and indirectly, there will be restricted movement by personal vehicle and then, eventually, no movement by personal vehicle.
if it isnt priced for everyone who cares
I've always been suspect of the Vulva. Always unpredictable.
Excellent. The Future Has Arrived.
Sabaraha pangawisna kinten-kinten.. Bilih weh ngkin nimu acisna?😊😊😊
Wow, still so very many people remain with out computers or cell phone.
Good news!
Hopefully it’s affordable.
So even car dealers are gonna loose jobs? Smh...
YES! 🥳⚡️🌎
Way to go............
Talk about the soaring gas prices.
good luck
