Volvo plans to introduce 5 new battery-electric vehicles over coming years, starting in 2023.
, said Volvo has started its electrification in the right way and looks ambitious, with Polestar attracting those early-adopters seeking performance electric cars.“Polestar is in my opinion an extension of the brand that’s attacking another kind of consumer: those looking for performance electric cars. Although it has proven to be difficult to gain traction when your direct rival is Tesla, the Polestar 2 has done well in countries like Norway.
“The overall BEV market in the U.S. will be over 2.7 million units by 2025, with about half of that total being from luxury and near-luxury brands such as Volvo. By 2025, Volvo’s North American production of BEVs will be ramping up and U.S. sales will rely largely on imports. Longer-term, Volvo is well positioned to take advantage of a growing BEV market,” Fiorani said.
Its electric technology is on a par with the competition. The claimed official range of the battery is 256 miles, and I managed an average 197 miles after 6 refills from my home charger. That’s a shortfall of nearly one quarter, roughly par for the course. Its highway cruise performance was close to the average too, with the 75-mph fast lane equivalent penalty of 35%, giving a theoretical long-distance cruising range of 128 miles.
