Volvo is making a big commitment to electric powered vehicles.  The premium car maker has announced every Volvo it launches from 2019 will have an electric motor.  Their strategy includes fully electric cars, plug-in hybrid cars and mild hybrid cars.  Volvo says they’ll bring five fully electric cars to the market between 2019 and 2021.  Two of them will be from their performance division Polestar.  Recently, France announced it wanted to end gas and diesel cars sales by 2040.
