I wish Volvo would create a car with a small turbo diesel engine that powers electric motors and recharges batteries as you drive. Same concept as the gas/electric super cars from Porsche, Mclaren, and Ferrari but for efficiency instead of power and speed.

I thought I read it to be every car introduced in 2019 or later will be fully electric.
In other words, if there is a vehicle line in production today with a program end later than 2019, it will continue to be produced as is today.

Not a problem. An electric car doesn't idle. If it's stopped, the electric motor isn't running.

OTOH internal combustion engines provide a lot of excess power to run accessories. That battery is going to drain pretty swiftly running the A/C in a Louisiana summer.
