Global potential

For the time being, Volvo’s XC70 release is exclusive to China. However, the brand has stated that it will be bringing the model to Europe in the future.

Hopefully, this means that some of this tech will make its way to the United States soon. Assuming it does, drivers could finally get to experience the EV range revolution.

Currently available for pre-order, pricing is set at ¥299,000 (roughly $42,000). If you’d like to learn more, you can head to the Volvo China website.
