Volvo is intent on walking the talk when it comes to phasing out internal combustion engines (ICE). Following its plans to go fully electric by 2030, Volvo has unveiled another pure electric model, the Volvo C40 Recharge. The C40 is based on the Volvo's CMA platform and is the first Volvo model in history designed as a pure electric car (whereas the recently-launched XC40 Recharge T5 is just an PHEV variant of regular combustion engine XC40).
