Volvo once had ambitions to fully exit the gas car business. Now it's trying to keep its tenuous foothold in the EV market. It's not an understatement to say that Volvo's EV journey has been a bumpy one. The compact EX40 has been a consistent winner, but the Swedish brand's other EVs have been plagued with problems. The EX90 was supposed to be a bold statement for the future, but persistent software bugs have forced Volvo into an expensive hardware replacement. The tiny EX30 faired no better, with tariffs upending the rollout of the brand's first mass-market affordable EV, eventually leading to its discontinuation in the US. But now with … Read the full story at The Verge.

Volvo is hoping for a reversal of fortunes by making a splash in the competitive luxury EV crossover market with its new EX60, but it's not a flawless machine.

The EX30 didn't quite work out in the U.S. Now a bigger replacement is on the way for next year.

Volvo's compact, quirky EX30 had a lot of problems when it was first released. Tariffs essentially erased its affordability, making it more expensive to own, and a battery recall made it dangerous to park indoors. But its discontinuation didn't spell the end of Volvo's efforts to sell more affordable electric models. In fact, the Swedish automaker is already at work on a new offering for the US market. The news of an affordable Volvo EV for the US came during a media roundtable this week related to the US launch of the new EX60. Luis Rezende, president of Volvo Cars America, said that the decision to discontinue the EX30 was not solely abo … Read the full story at The Verge.

Renault will buy out truckmaker Volvo Group's and shipping firm CMA CGM's stakes in their new-generation electric vans joint venture Flexis, the French carmaker said on Monday. The agreement will become effective by the end of the first half of 2026, as Renault CEO François Provost, who took over last year, accelerates his efforts to streamline the group's operations. The automaker was already planning to fold its Ampere electric-vehicle unit back into the group, two sources told Reuters in January, and has shut down its car-sharing services. Flexis was created in 2024 in partnership with Sweden's Volvo, with CMA CGM joining later as a minority shareholder. Renault and Volvo each hold 45 percent, with CMA CGM owning 10 percent. A spokesperson for Renault said the automaker would pay a combined price of "several hundred million euros" for the stakes, in line with initial bids from Volvo and CMA CGM. The sellers declined to comment on the financial details of the deal. "We have had
