Yet there has been little to no press around any plans of Volvo becoming an electric car brand, which they've stated is their goal. In mid-2018, when China banned all combustion engine cars, there was a brief moment of the press as Volvo moved production to fully electric vehicles and announced every first model of their new line would be electric.
