Volvo Cars to go all electric - Volvo Car Group Global Media Newsroom

Misleading title on the press release, but it basically boils down to... between 48 volt mild hybrids (it's better than not having any hybrid system, even if a full hybrid would be better), PHEVs, and BEVs (five of which they're claiming will be released between 2019 and 2021), Volvo will not launch any ICE-only models in 2019 or later.

I'm shocked that a Toyota jumps a curb and we're not inundated with more "run away acceleration" articles. Oh, it isn't a Prius ...

Re: PHEV demand
I see that California has a new bill proposing to extend HOV stickers to 2025 (from 2019).
I *assume* that bill will probably pass and will assure decent Prime sales in the future. One aspect to look for is the older PiP treatment, but I assume it is questionable...not sure

"AB 544 | Author: Bloom ... zero-emission vehicles, or transitional zero-emission vehicles to use HOV lanes for four years after vehicle identifiers are issued".
