Volvo has now joined the zero emissions club by starting production of its fully electric version of the compact C30. Happening immediately after this year’s summer, Volvo will be leasing a limited number of the vehicle throughout Europe. Initially the majority of the customers will be companies, authorities and government bodies.

Built on the regular assembly line in the Ghent factory and then sent off to Göteborg for installation of the battery, motor and corresponding components, the C30 Electric has been in development since 2010. Able to be recharged via a regular, household outlet, the C30 Electric has a full range of 150 kilometers. Full charges do however take seven hours to complete. Volvo plans to build a total of 250 models by the end of 2012.
