Volvo CEO warns competitors against moving too slow into EVs

General Motors, Ford, and other large manufactures have recently committed billions of dollars towards further development of internal combustion engines (ICE) and their dinosaur-juice fuelled vehicles.

Commenting on his competitors’ slower move to electric vehicles, Volvo Cars’ new CEO Jim Rowan is promoting a different approach, and cautions his competitors against hedging their bets by investing heavily in internal combustion engines (ICE) as they “risk missing the market.”

LMC Automotive reported EV sales surged 72% globally to 7.97 million vehicles in 2022. Nearly 10 percent of new light vehicles sold were pure battery electric vehicles (BEV).
