"[W]e need collaboration in our industry and outside of our industry to make sure that that happens," Butani stated, highlighting the importance of partnerships in the automaker's electrification journey.
Butani acknowledged that the decision to delay full electrification until after 2030 was influenced by several factors including tariffs on Chinese-made EVs and the slow pace of infrastructure development.
The shifting landscape of EV sales, particularly in the U.S., led Volvo to adjust its plans for the EX30 SUV, postponing its availability in the U.S. market.
Butani emphasized that the road to electrification is multifaceted, involving not just manufacturing and market demand, but also significant external factors like regulations and infrastructure readiness.
