It\u2019s been nearly a decade since Volvo first started rolling out plug-in hybrids in the U.S., and while the formula for them hasn\u2019t changed a whole lot, a couple of important details have.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of them is that Volvo\u2019s made the batteries larger every few years, leading to more plug-in electric range, improved hybrid drivability, and overall a better mix of attributes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n The other thing that\u2019s changed in that time is that Volvo is seriously going all-electric. It\u2019s targeting 2030 for a fully electric lineup, with EVs that won\u2019t cost more than gas vehicles by 2025.<\/p>\n Volvo just this week announced that the S60 will be discontinued, with 2025 the final model year for this South Carolina-built sedan. It\u2019s going away as that plant becomes the first of Volvo\u2019s plants globally to go all-EV, making space for both the Volvo EX90 and, later in the year, the Polestar 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n
