    New Trademarks Hint At EVs from Volvo

      Taking a guess as to some new trademark filings done by Volvo

    Volvo has been busy filing trademark applications in Europe. Swedespeed reports that Volvo has applications filed for P5, P6, P8, P9, and P10 with European Union Intellectual Property Office. The applications say the names would be used for “vehicles and conveyances; Electric vehicles.” This leads Sweedspeed to speculate the names could be used on Volvo's current models to designate an electric version - S90 P6 for example.

    Last year, Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson said they plan on launching their first electric vehicle by 2019.

    Meanwhile, in the U.S., Volvo has filled out trademark applications V20 and V30. There isn't much information with these applications, saying they could be used on motor vehicles or other items such as steering wheels. Swedespeed thinks these names could be for small vehicles.

    Why would they do 50 to 100, with increments of 10 kWH?

     

    I think it might be P for plug with the number being more actually about the kind of comparable gas engine to look at... So P6 would be like a equivalent of the T6 already available..., but really, who gives a hell? Why do electric vehicles need, at times.... dumb names that always have to signify "oh look here I am electric, my electrons will teleport you faster than your engines could ever chug lung cancer juice."

     

    So T8 v. P8.....I think battery capacity might increase but not increments of 10....that sounds arbritary, too many variants and wasteful. Unless you cannot get a P5 through 7 on the S90. Only P8 and up, being even higher than the T8...

    If you think of what Tesla offers which is in increments of 10, I can totally see it being the battery size.

      I know. When I was talking about USC, I then went over to Mossimo and Lori Loughlin.  They participated in the bribed admissions snafu at USC for their daughters and did time.  I rechecked and those two are separated instead of divorced. As for Bezos and his arm candy, only time will tell what that will look like.

      Hmm....I was talking about Lauren Sanchez... they just got married last year.  Had been Bezo's girlfriend since 2018.  He divorced his first wife in 2019.

      USC grad and I believe a SoCal upbringing.  USC was once not that hard to get into.  I'm not commenting on her intellectual abilities (she's not a rocket scientist, that's for sure), just the statistics.  Admission percentages for freshmen at the best public universities in America have dropped like a lead balloon.  I don't know if I'd want to go to a school where Mossimo* and Lori Loughlin* had to swindle the system to get their daughters in.  It's also in a somewhat dangerous neighborhood. What it does is beg the question as to who and what she is thinking about when she's got her thighs wrapped around his waist.  I'm just calling a spade a spade.   * I just did a wiki on them. They got divorced last year.

      What I was really going to say: Just based on what is being fed to me on my phone and the photos they pose for, it doesn't look like Jeff Bezos is too happy with this trophy wife he bagged.  Once you study her more, it looks like most of her existence is about being a poseur.  I'm not so sure I like her.
