Why buy the Volvo Electric C30?
The Electric C30 looks like a regular C30 and offers all the same safety and comfort of the standard version. And, aside from its electric motor, many components are borrowed from the current Ford Focus, which endows the Volvo with good ride and handling characteristics – in our initial brief test drive they didn’t seem overly compromised by the battery pack and electric motor. Although it’s only a three-door four-seater, the C30 will be one of the first all-electric family-sized cars. And, if you trust the official figures, it’s got a longer range and better performance than electric superminis due on sale around the same time.
