I don’t understand the fixation on “trust” here. They set a soft target of 2030 based on their predictions at the time, now they are revising slightly but have reiterated the main points which is they are fully committed to electrification. This is a small revision, not some clear fraud like FSD. They used words like “plan”, “intend”, and “ambition”, not “promise” in their original press release. I don’t see the case that Volvo can’t be “trusted”, since they never even promised anything. Maybe I’m being pedantic, but holding Volvos feet to the fire on this doesn’t seem fair. If they said they were cancelling EVs entirely and plan to be an ICE only company, sure.
