Volvo’s Electric C30 car

This is the first time Volvo has presented its all-electric C30, a technology still in the research phase, and I feel good for where the company’s stands with its EV and plug-in hybrid projects.  The car is outfitted with two lithium-ion batteries, one under the hood, the other beneath the trunk, giving the car a range of 150 km (about 93 miles). A  plug-in diesel hybrid, a technology that Volvo will bring to commercialization in 2012.
