Earlier this year, Polestar revealed something of a flight of fancy by taking the covers off an all-electric roadster with a convertible hard-top roof that looked more than a little sporty. This concept, dubbed the O2 when it debuted in March, was entirely plausible, as it was coming from the sister brand of Volvo…

New passenger car sales in Norway finally improved in October, after six months of year-over-year declines. Last month, 12,558 new cars were registered (up 8.5%), which brought the year-to-date number to 115,319 (down 18%).

It’s a heady time to be a car executive. Lawmakers worldwide are pushing the auto industry to electrify, and fast. US companies are under pressure to do that without giving a boost to rival nations, primarily China. Reengineering decades of internal combustion-centric technology, business models, and supply chains should be easy, right? Meanwhile, another…

As you may know, Volvo just officially unveiled its EX90 electric SUV, which will serve as an electric equivalent of the current midsize XC90 SUV.
