Volvo will be selling only pure BEVs by 2030. They also are moving to online-only sales.

Dealer forecourts will stay open to assist with sales. However prices will be fixed at the on-line offer.

(paywall, sorry)

The C40 recharge was the least important part of the presentation.

This is a huge paradigm shift for a legacy automaker.

Worldwide (including the US!)

All BEVs sold On-line at fixed prices. ONLY.
Half of their cars pure EV by 2025.
100% BEV by 2030.

According to the BBC article, Volvo have also said that they won't be putting fuel cells in cars:-

BBC News said:
Volvo will not be investing in cars with hydrogen fuel cells, as it does not think there will be enough demand from customers. There is also a question mark over hydrogen's availability in comparison with charging points for electric cars, a spokesman said.
