I guess we all have different views. My thesis is that the major European brands have been milking consumers for years with ever increasing margins the reward. We are now going through a massive technological disruption and the Chinese/Koreans (and Californians) have a lead. Volvo is better places than most for obvious reasons (and the EX30 is good relative value as is mentioned) but the BEVs coming out of Europe are just deeply unimpressive on both range and price criteria. It’s a great opportunity for the Chinese to take market share until the Europeans move on from their ‘rushed out in a hurry’ current BEV offerings.

PS I’d still buy a petrol XC90 if prices/spec options were more reasonable. I’m going down to funerals in southern England soon and will do 1000+ miles in a few days. Still don’t fancy that in a BEV.
