The company whose CEO said EVs are a bad idea? Whose only(?) EV costs $45k+, has only ±150 miles range, and can DC "fast" charge in two to three times it takes the competition? That company is struggling to sell EVs?
I'm shocked, I tell you, flabbergasted even.
Yeah, I skipped right past Toyota in my EV search when I learned they weren't one of the manufacturers with a near horizon for all-electric.
Only 150 miles? Damn that’s bad. Minimum is 300 and that’s on the low end.
150 alone for a range isn't terrible for certain markets (local use), but you better have fast recharge and everything else great. You're right though that at this point most everyone is offering higher.
There's plenty of daily commuters in the 220-260 mile range, which is perfectly cromulent. Their car isn't an urban commuter, though.
It is the #1 selling EV in Norway

And not a single Volvo on the list. Truly puzzling.
