Volvo's C30 north of the Arctic Circle

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/23/volvos-c30-electric-freezes-north-of-the-arctic-circle-chases/

This will be my next EV..... I'm late to the EV dance but have been following Volvo's EV development with the C30 model.
I really like this car for its pure utility and style. Like they say Volvo for life (LEAF until the Volvo EV) hits the market.
Thanks for the frigid video... :ugeek:

You know that the C30 is a four passenger configuration, with the battery pack down the center of the car like the Volt, right?

It's just me driving..... I fold every seat flat and throw my folded plywood in the back....
I guess utility was a stretch..... Really it's just another Volvo to add to my fleet of Volvo's.....
My question would be on pricing... The C30 has never been a seller here in the States. Europe yes but only a handful here.
They priced it way to high for what it is..... I imagine the EV will have a bigger sticker so it's just another pipe dream....
