Volvo Ditches Leather for its E-cars

(1/1)

cosworth151:
Volvo will not offer leather interiors in its electric cars, starting with the C40 Recharge. It will use a textile developed in-house called Nordico. It's made from recycled wine corks, water bottles & forestry by products. (I'm not kidding).

Jericoke:
The 'operating window' for leather never worked for me.  Either it bakes in the sun and burns your thighs, or it's frozen solid and like sitting on a rock.

Unless of course you pre start your car to let it warm up/cool off, which I don't know if that's a good idea with an electric car.
