(Scott Olson/Getty Images)Electricity will power every new Volvo model starting in 2019, the Chinese-owned automaker announced Wednesday, making it the first major car manufacturer to pledge to leave the traditional combustion engine behind. Volvo said it will launch five fully electric vehicles between 2019 and 2021. Three of them will be Volvo models, and the other two will come from Polestar, Volvo's performance car arm. “Volvo Cars has stated that it plans to have sold a total of [1 million] electrified cars by 2025. We are committed to electrification, so from 2019 all new Volvo car models will include an electric motor.
