Drive strand and batteryetails still have to be published, but the company claims that the XC70 has an EV range of 200 km if the China is used generous CLTC standard.

In 2021, Volvo was one of the first “Legacy” Armacher who was committed to an electrical range and promised to sell his last vehicle with a combustion engine by 2030. In Australia, the brand was even more ambitious and claimed that until 2026 it would only go on EV-NUR-EV level.
