Latest electric Volvo C30 features a complete interior for the first time and complete the instrument panel, and increase battery packs. The car is powered by lithium-ion batteries and a 82kw electric motor to provide power output of 111bhp. Plug-in electric car takes about eight hours to fully recharge from ordinary household socket. Peak speed of 81mph, while 0-60mph takes 10.5 seconds. Volvo claims that 93 miles is enough to cover about 90 percent of all European trip.

50 cars to be judged partly funded by a 150 million Swedish Kronor (£ 12.8m) grant from the Swedish Energy Agency. Trials will run for about two years, with Volvo assessing a select group of individuals during that period to provide input in developing future electric vehicles and infrastructure needed to support them.
