Another example of the inevitable ups and downs automakers live through: Days after proudly announcing the start of North American production of its new EX90 SUV, Volvo is issuing a recall of its other new electric model. The EX30 is being recalled due to a software problem, one which concerns all of the 72,000 or so units manufactured to date.

On the other hand, this is the second time that a software problem has affected this model, which is manufactured in China. Let's hope for the sake of the Swedish automaker that its EX30 doesn't experience too many problems; it has proven popular since its launch, due to its small size no doubt, but above also because of its relatively affordable price. The model has already climbed to third place in terms of sales of all-electric models in Europe, sitting second only to Tesla' Model Y and Model 3, according to Dataforce market research data.
