Volvo C30 EV Electric Concept
A few days after the Frankfurt Motor Show, Volvo showed a prototype of a C30 powered by an electric motor. If at that time was a mere vehicle for research, Volvo continues to develop and present a more accomplished version of the show in Detroit.
Long, Volvo said he did not believe in electric vehicle. But given the increasing interest in this technology (the public, media and politicians), the Swedish manufacturer is interested in closer, so as not to be too late.
Unlike the prototype presented in September, this new version presented in Detroit the same features of the latest stylistic development of the C30. It features an opportunity for the pearl white shade of light blue pointed to the various accessories bodywork. The box is visibly reduced, and it takes very flat rims of the C30 1.6D DRIVe.
We find the white and blue interior, which has a specific command instead of the lever gear shift, and an instrumentation too specific, and enhanced navigation functions related to the mode of propulsion (charging time of batteries, autonomy, graphical user ...).
The architecture remains the same with the batteries housed in the central tunnel and up the tank. Autonomy announced goes hand from 130 to 150 km. The top speed is 130 kph and the cooldown from 8am.
