Saab, not exactly the first company I think of when I think of cutting edge electric vehicles, is determined not to be left behind by the electric renaissance that’s starting… any time now, just wait for it. They’re rolling out a test fleet of EVs based on the upcoming 9-3 model, but wouldn’t give a date for actual production. Chances are it’ll be quite a while.

They’re working with American battery producers and Swedish engine designers to “electrify” (electrificate?) portions of the fleet as well as putting out an all-electric one at some point in the future. Sounds good to me.
