Volvo, the maker of the EX90 and XC40 Recharge, will have an all-electric lineup globally by 2030, “no ifs, no buts,” according to the brand’s chief commercial officer Bjorn Annwall, who spoke with Automotive News on the sidelines at the launch event for the company’s all-new EV, the EX30 small crossover.
