Volvo has taken the fight to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and more after launching their XC90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid SUV. The automaker plans to expand their hybrid plug-in range until the market is ready for all-electric cars.

Volvo VP of product strategy, Lex Kerssemakers told Autocar that "Once there is a more sustainable business case behind full EV we can do it - our platform is scalable and fully flexible. But we must see how the EV business evolves and what pressures there are from fuel efficiency requirements and cities closing borders."
