the Zero is the first model build on Geely’s new Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA), which the firm says features advances in both hardware and software systems - including the ability to offer over-the-air updates.

Geely says the new architecture is open-source and will be “used throughout the Geely Holding portfolio of companies," which includes Volvo and its spin-off performance brand Polestar.

Lynk & Co har ännu inte släppt fullständiga prestandadetaljer om Zero, men det hävdar att det kommer att erbjuda en 0-62 mph-tid på mindre än 4,0 sek, med en räckvidd på cirka 435=( 700km)miles. Det använder ett 800V golvbatteripaket, vilket företaget säger har en livslängd på 1,2=(1,93 miljoner km) miljoner miles.

Volvo is pushing ahead with plans for a smaller SUV, potentially badged XC20 - and the company boss has confirmed that it will be one of the first cars based on the new pure-electric platform developed by the Swedish brand’s owner, Geely.

The Chinese conglomerate unveiled the EV-specific underpinnings, called Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA), at the recent Beijing Auto Show. The technology was showcased using a concept from Lynk & Co, but speaking to Auto Express, Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson admitted that his engineers are also working on models based on SEA - and that the much-rumoured baby SUV, first revealed by Auto Express last year and previewed by our exclusive image (above), will be one of them.

Smolket i min bägare är att inga egentliga framsteg har gjorts på teknikfronten. 42 mils räckvidd är okej men inte mer.
Snabbladdningen är också bara godkänd, varken mer eller mindre. Detta är alltså två områden som Volvos teknikchef Henrik Green menar att man siktar på att bli ledande i.
