We love Volvo for their innovation. They were the first to use 3-point safety belts, and the quality and reliability of their cars can’t be denied. And when they start talking about having bidirectional charging capability available as standard on their forthcoming 2024 EX90, we...
Though electric cars are more efficient and accessible than ever, they are probably not anyone’s first thought when planning on going off-roading. Not only are they often cars that are lower to the ground, but no one wants to get to the middle of nowhere...

Drive a truck for a living? In the next few years, chances are it will be electric, and it might even be a Volvo. Volvo has plans to roll out electric trucks to Europe next year, with the United States to follow. To be sure,...
The most expensive part of any car repair is usually the labor. If your mechanic tells you the repair is going to take a week, ask why. If they say the repair is a complicated job that will take a while, chances are they are milking you for time. Granted, some parts may take a little while to order and maybe their schedule is all filled up with previous work orders, especially if you took the car in for an emergency. Yet even most complicated repairs shouldn’t take more than a few hours in labor, however. And if they are doing similar jobs where the labor might overlap, make sure they aren’t charging you for the labor twice. A quality mechanic will try to minimize your car repair costs as much as possible, Cincinnati!
