Volvo had previously said it would begin selling the EX30 in the United States later this year, but a spokesperson on Wednesday told Reuters that deliveries will not start until 2025, in part due to the introduction of tariffs of more than 100% on Chinese EV imports by the U.S. government. U.S. President Joe Biden unveiled steep tariff hikes on Chinese imports last month, including over 100% on EVs, up from 27.5% earlier. Volvo, the Swedish luxury brand owned by China's Geely, started building the EX30 in Zhangjiakou, China, and said last year it would expand production of the small electric SUV to a plant in Belgium beginning 2025.
Last summer the Swedish carmaker announced it would limit UK sales to its more popular SUV models
