Volvo refunds buyers of electric crossovers  - 1

Volvo forced to issue refunds for faulty EX30 electric cars sold in Europe found to have a large number defects and they cannot be removed quickly enough "by air".

But Volvo UK says that only a very small number of EX30 owners have returned their cars and opted for a refund and that the model remains popular in European markets.

Main faults include non-functioning steering wheel buttons, failure of driver assistance systems and resetting the car to factory settings. This is all due to the EX30's heavy reliance on software.

This isn't the first time the EX30 has hit the news for software flaws. The electric vehicle manufacturer strives to update the software as quickly as possible to fix bugs in the systems.
