Volvo’s most affordable luxury electric vehicle is a “huge stepping stone” toward boosting electric-vehicle sales globally, including Canada, says Michael Cottone, president of Volvo Car USA and Canada region.
“This car is a huge stepping stone for us,” he said. “It’s an entry price point into the luxury all-electric SUV market. The EX30 is going to do tremendous things for Volvo in Canada,” especially when factoring in federal and provincial rebates, where applicable. The EX30 also has the lowest carbon footprint in Volvo’s history. The overall lifetime footprint is 25 per cent less than any other Volvo EV. It is made with 25 per cent recycled aluminum, 17 per cent recycled plastic and 17 per cent recycled steel.Across Canada, Volvo sales are up 19.8 per during the first 10 months of the year, according to the Automotive News Research and Data Center.
Volvo has ambitious targets for electrification -- 50 per cent of its global sales are expected to be electric vehicles by 2025.
