Turning point
Volvo is not yet a fully electric brand, but in the Netherlands it is already doing good business with its electric models. This is evident from the sales figures of the past year.
The lion’s share of Volvo’s models still have a fuel engine. If you want to drive fully electric, you will have to rely on the electric versions of the XC40 and C40, the EX30 was added at the last minute in 2023. However, those three (especially the majority of sales. No less than 62 percent of Volvos sold in the Netherlands last year were fully electric. If you throw all Volvos with a plug into one heap, the share amounts to 84 percent. This concerns electric and plug-in hybrid Volvos. The rest, 16 percent, consisted of mild-hybrid Volvos.
A year earlier, 47 percent of Volvos sold in the Netherlands were fully electric. Fewer Volvos were also sold in our country at that time. In 2022 there were a total of 12,965 cars, last year Volvo sold 16,255 cars here. A growth of about 25 percent. Volvo hopes to further increase sales this year, as well as the electric share, thanks to the arrival of the EX30. Its big brother, the also electric Volvo EX90, will also be launched this year.
