Polestar and Volvo could step away from traditional gas car design language. For this car you have a pointless for function long hood. You suffer inside because of that misplaced priority with the unnecessary limitation of back seat legroom and less wheelbase. An MG4 is the car to compare for current design of an ev. Good rear legroom. It's got a 2705mm wheelbase vs. 2650mm for this Volvo. 2 inches right there. 4287mm length vs. 4233mm for the EX30. The difference shows in the back door dimension.

I'm jealous of the improvements the newer car has. Trunk lift gate, li-ion 12v battery, heat pump, Ryzen processor and for the MCU.
tdgaf otherwise. If they using 500 cycle lithium batteries they are worth less than 20k.
Also better include tax rebate.
Because I see no such claim at a glance.
The word design appears 0 times in the story and the word Sweden appears once in the entire story- and it's the line I quoted citing China, Sweden, Germany, and the UK as the places this was developed.
The brand is Volvo. The design is from Sweden. The R&D is from around the world. The factory is in China. People arguing over geography here have strong opinions about the location of the factory and parent company. But generally, they don't understand the relevance or irrelevance of geography to automotive design and engineering. Whether anyone likes it or not, Geely has holdings and partnerships around the world just like all other major auto manufacturers.

YOU claimed the link I provided confirmed the car was designed in sweden.
I asked you to quote the part that does that.
You can't, because it doesn't say that. You made it up.
The platform was launched, and my story dated, from 2020.
Can you explain how a studio that did not exist when the platform was completed and announced designed that platform?
Does Geely have time travel tech we don't know about?

Absolutely fair. And if it has a traditional shaped front end and standard batteries-on-the-bottom layout you get a bonus trunk space under the hood. That space is one of the reasons I'm looking forward to an electric truck, as it means my work gear can go up front and leave the bed area purely for cargo.
0 Teslas sold in the US are made in China. (and 0 on the market anywhere were designed there).
....
but other market Tesla is import from Chinese made LFP battery that means longer battery life and safer

Well, good thing is that apparently the Chinese are trying to put some competition to the American brands in their turf market, it may force better price and acceleration of quality and tech to North America.
Not sure how a possible standoff between US and China may affect all these brands - probably everything data connected offshore will turn into useless bricks. That's kinda risky for $35 grands as well.
