Volvo phasing out ICE by 2019
 

looks like the Chinese really are going to be leading the world to greener initiatives

Volvo vows to electrify every single model by 2019 | Driving

I initially read the ICE acronym as in-car entertainment... lol...

^^ I think we all do.

lmao i read it as "Immigrations and Customs Enforcement"

too much Trump for me

i just thought this thread was very anti-fliptuner

dat VEA engine is hnnnnggggg

Pretty neat. Assuming other brands are not far behind, Tesla better get their finances in order. With a huge amount of competition on it's way, Elon may be sweating. Or he's super pumped as his charging stations will probably be multi use and his batteries will be in every vehicle. ha

Volvo is getting quite interesting. Instead of paying a premium for safety systems,they are already selling it with the base model.

I still can't comprehend how they mange to sell 130 - 2017 S90 cars in Canada. :lol

A solid point about batteries, it would be no suprise if the companies just bought from his gigafactories. Either way I think he would sleep happily knowing that other companies are now adopting electric vehicles, even if it means less profits for tesla. Just being rich doesn't seem like his goal

Kinda like Toyota is doing on the new 2017 models. Even the ratrolla now comes with adaptive cruise, pre collision braking and a bunch of other stuff standard.

France is banning fuel engines by 2040 as well
