You might not know it to look at them, but these two cars—one Swedish, one Chinese—share underpinnings and a parent company. Volvo and its Chinese parent Geely are very serious about selling cars that plug in. It’s called the XC40 Recharge, and the earliest versions aren’t cheap, priced from about $55,000 including delivery.

Cabin heating and defrosting seemed up to the challenge of a Berlin winter, melting light snow off the exterior glass, though I can’t speak for climates with true deep-freeze conditions. So long as you have a Google account and a smartphone (yes, including an iPhone), setup takes under a minute. Navigation is straight-up clunky.

Last year Oregon had also aggressively negotiated with the Chinese carmaker, BYD , to manufacture its line of plug-in hybrids in the state for sale in the U.S.) Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not.

The EX90 is set for production in Volvo’s American factory next year, with later production commencing at its Chinese plant. They’re not going to be cheap. Expect Nordico recycled fabric upholstery , a panoramic glass roof, soft close doors and four-zone climate control. How much will Australians pay for an EX90?
