Only the EX90 it seems is made in SC, possibly just assembled from parts made in China. All other electric Volvos (including Polestar) are straight from China. Gas models and hybrids are still built in Europe but are being phased out.


I thought China is disconnected from modern microchips and operating systems - how do they manage to keep shipping these cars (and PCs)?


Cars don't use modern chips ... They use reliable chips that are built to withstand being in a car for years on end ... They also don't need to be as small as possible so older processes will suffice

Edit: I didn't like my tone


Volvo EX40, fully electric is made in Belgium and it does not seem that it will be phased out soon.
