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.

If Volvo uses CCS, and doesn't immediately switch this model to NACS like Tesla, GM, and Ford. Then this car is a hard pass for North America.

Man I love when people don't read their own sources before posting them!
There's 2 versions of this:
Version 1: Tesla is officially opening a small % of existing US superchargers to "anyone" and that small % of locations will have at least 1 station with a special adapter attached to the station that will let you plug it into a CCS car.
That should work for everyone with CCS if they install the tesla app, and have a Tesla account set up for payment... but won't be available at most locations.
Version 2: Tesla is providing adapters to Ford and GM for their existing vehicle owners (unclear at this time if the owners will have to pay for them but I expect they will) that will let those cars, using their native charging/billing apps, and connect to a large % (but not all) of existing US superchargers "starting early next year"--- roughly 2/3rds of existing locations (and likely 100% of new to-be-built ones). And then new Ford/GM EVs from 2025 forward will have NACS ports by default and no adapter needed.
Unless Geely inks a deal with Tesla this vehicle would be limited to version 1 up there.

It was intended to quote "Tesla will still win on the miles range. Until and unless someone figures out close to 330-350 miles range, tesla will be winner always "
So, I gave a link for another Geely EV with 1000km range...
Haha 😅
this country and its corporations don't give a crap about its people or employees. all they care about is their profits and shareholders. the CEOs only care about quarterly earnings reports and they will lay off thousands if that means higher stock prices.
Model 3 is small ...
I mean, it's larger than the car this thread is about, but you never let facts get in your way!
though I mostly agree with the part about the US.gov producing nothing. but then again, they are beholden to big corp and lobbyist interests by promising votes in the next election. what a wonderful system we have!

Volvos from 2025 forward will come with the native Tesla charging port instead of the increasingly marginalized CCS1 port that'll require an adapter available next year to use.
