Volvo has unveiled its first fully electric vehicle, and with it, an important commitment to decarbonization. The carmaker says it will bring out a new electric model every year and reduce production of traditional combustion vehicles and hybrids, so that by 2025, half of its sales will be electric, and the other half will be a decreasing number of plug-in hybrids, with their non-electric motors produced outside the company. The launch and mass marketing of Volkswagen's ID.3, the increased manufacturing capacity of market leader, Tesla, after opening a factory in China, and the efforts of other manufacturers to quickly electrify their catalog, leaves no doubt about where the motor industry is going: the transition to electric vehicles is no longer about when, but at what speed it takes place. If you were thinking of purchasing a new vehicle with an internal combustion engine, know that you are buying obsolete technology. A strike by GM workers over a production switch to electric vehicles, which will mean smaller workforces, says it all.
