The fully electric Volvo XC40 Recharge and XC60 Recharge plug-in hybrid have been named as two of the best electric cars for 2021 by Autotrader.

Volvo Cars is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to use NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology to power the autonomous driving computer in next generation Volvo models.

Volvo began experimenting with compact electric powertrains in the 1970s, and by the middle of the decade, they developed two working prototypes - a two-seater transport version intended for mail delivery and a four-seater city car.  

Volvo Cars is simplifying the way drivers of its electric and plug-in hybrid cars recharge with an in-car app that eliminates the need to swipe a payment method to unlock a charging station and consolidates multiple charging network accounts into one.
