The planet has been exploited for generations, so drastic steps were needed to prevent a catastrophe. The introduction of electric vehicles is a step in the right direction. These vehicles protect the environment while being more efficient than traditional cars. Since people have become more aware, car manufacturers have realized that they now need to shift to electric vehicles.

Volvo 2021 saw the company introduce their fully electric vehicle, the XC40 Recharge, with plans of the just-unveiled C40 Recharge to hit stores by late 2022.
