The upcoming Volvo EX30 will represent a 25% reduction in lifecycle carbon emissions versus the C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge EVs

These revamped models don’t look different but bring more range and efficiency, new motors, and battery improvements—with rear-wheel drive and simplification.

The compact model, to be called EX30, will be revealed on June 7 and will be available that same day for U.S. reservations, Volvo said.

A $1,000 incentive is also available for all other 2023 and 2024 Volvo models—all as part of a limited-time deal with the retail giant.

Volvo also recently reported that in the U.S., its EVs and plug-in hybrids combined make up more than a quarter of total sales.

In addition to electric versions of its current lineup of sedans and crossover SUVs, Volvo is planning some models aimed specifically at Asian markets, according to the report.

The three-row, fully electric EX90 SUV echoes the look of the gasoline XC90, but with 300 miles of range, bidirectional charging, and next-level safety technology, it pushes the brand to its electric future.

Larger battery packs add to the vehicle’s carbon footprint, but Volvo wants the EX90's pack to help balance home and grid from the start.

The EX90 will use next-generation sensors and software that might help prevent deadly crashes.

Volvo EVs and plug-in hybrids, combined, also add up to more than a third of the brand's sales nationally.

Volvo sees it as a step toward offering only pure electric vehicles by 2030 and being carbon-neutral by 2040.

Volvo plans to add up to 60 ChargePoint DC fast-chargers at up to 15 stores along a 1,350-mile route.

In T8 plug-in hybrid form, Volvo's new PHEVs also get a more powerful rear motor—making them the most powerful road cars it's ever built.

Momentum Dynamics inductive wireless charging tech will be tested in XC40 Recharge electric SUVs in use more than 12 hours a day.

Refreshed styling is likely to be bound for the U.S., while single-motor versions of the XC40 and C40 are yet to be announced.

Scheduled to open in 2025, the joint-venture plant will have a "potential" annual battery cell production capacity of up to 50 gigawatt-hours, which would be enough for 500,000 EVs annually

Volvo's multi-pronged march towards electrification includes swapping out its T5 and T6 gas powertrains for mild-hybrid B5 and B6 versions, which are first found in the 2022 XC60 and V90 Cross Country.

More battery for the XC60 Recharge T8 gives it an estimated 32 electric miles, quicker acceleration, and the only one-pedal driving mode in a PHEV.

The Polestar 2 and the Volvo XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge will all get updates that could improve real-world range and help prepare for fast-charging stops.

The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge is a rolling fashion statement; but at 225 estimated EPA miles, it delivers more range than its boxier sibling.
