Yes but you said 'all electric'
A hybrid is not 'all electric'.
They're basically going to do what toyota has been trying for years, in europe at least. Here toyota only has a few models left that arent available as hybrids (only the aygo, gt86 and the few landcruisers/hiluxes that are sold here come to mind. )
So its not that much of a revolutionairy plan.
You're correct that they won't be all electric, but Volvo will have some form of hybrid in every car sold, not just an available hybrid for each model.

So while Toyota has a hybrid Camry, they still offer a pure ICE Camry. Volvo won't be building pure ICE cars in a few years. MB will likely be close behind, their new transmissions have a spot for hybrid motors, regardless of car configuration.
