If you’re in the market for a new Volvo C40 Recharge and haven’t finalized a deal, then you’re out of luck, at least for 2021. The Chinese-owned Swedish luxury brand’s first all-electric-only model is officially sold out for what’s left of the current model year, according to Automotive News Europe. Orders are now being filled into February 2022 but it seems the Belgium factory the C40 calls home can’t keep up with current demand.
It’s not a terrible situation to be in but Volvo, quite understandably, wants to increase the production rate in order to avoid losing sales to rivals, such as the Tesla Model 3 and Mercedes-Benz EQA. Volvo will reportedly manage to build 6,000 to 7,000 examples by the end of the year. Company officials declined to comment regarding production capacity for 2022.
