VOLVO ELECTRIC CAR 2019

Volvo says all its new vehicles starting in 2019 will have electric motors. Volvo’s president, Hakan Samuelsson, said the decision was made because of the desires of today’s car buyers. “People increasingly demand electrified cars, and we want to respond to our customers’ current and future needs,” he said. The company said it would offer five fully electric vehicles between 2019 and 2021. Three models will carry the Volvo name. The others will be sold by Polestar, the company’s business for high-end products. The company’s new Polestar brand is seen as a main competitor to American manufacturer Tesla. Tesla just announced the sales launch of the company’s much-awaited Model 3, which costs about $35,000. The German car manufacturer BMW is reportedly planning to launch an electric version of its popular 3 Series later this year. American General Motors will soon begin selling its popular Chevrolet Bolt in all U.S. states.
