2025 release date a lot can change by then. I'm betting Volvo is counting on cost reductions and improvements in batteries to meet their goals.
According to all the articles the release date is next year, 2025 is just the model year which is typically always one year ahead of the actual production date.

I read production "later in 2024" but turns out that is in the U.S. supposedly early 2024 in the UK. I have doubts they can meet the price point if so will sell out instantly.
I doubt it'll come close to that when it's certified. 275 miles is overly optimistic for EPA considering the WLTP range is 298 miles.
They wouldn't have plastered that number on their U.S technical page/pre-order page if they weren't confident it could match it or get close. Lots of cars have close EPA/WLTP ratings:
When we eventually replace my wife's 3, this is a strong contender. She doesn't like larger cars and still misses her first car - 2008 Yaris hatch with the 3 doors. I hated that little car but she enjoyed it.

Notice the vast majority of those are Teslas. Volvo and Poelstar's current crop of EV's have nothing where the EPA and WLTP ranges are even close to each other.
