- Volvo’s Upcoming ES90 to Feature 800-Volt Architecture and 350-kw Fast-Charging
- Despite Smaller Battery, ES90 Electric Sedan Promises Longer Range Than EX90 SUV
- Focus on Sustainability: Recycled Plastics, Certified Wood, and Blockchain-Based Battery Passport
The Volvo ES90 electric sedan is set to make a mark as the first Volvo EV with an 800-volt electrical architecture, showcasing the brand’s commitment to sustainable materials.
Ahead of its official debut on March 5, Volvo has shared some exciting details about the ES90, emphasizing its charging capabilities and eco-friendly features.
One standout feature is the 800-volt electrical system, enabling European-spec ES90 models to charge at up to 350 kw and recover 186 miles of range in just 10 minutes of charging at that power level.
Volvo is targeting an impressive 435-mile range on the WLTP testing cycle for the ES90, thanks to a dual-motor setup and a 106-kwh battery pack. The sedan’s sustainable ethos extends to its materials, with a significant portion of recycled aluminum, steel, and plastic polymers, along with FSC-certified wood trim.
Another innovative aspect is the blockchain-based “battery passport,” which tracks raw material sourcing and carbon footprint for the battery components.
While sharing the SPA2 platform with the EX90, the ES90 brings enhancements like more powerful chips for Volvo’s tech stack. This sedan is part of Volvo’s plan to introduce 10 new models over the next two years, including a mix of EVs and longer-range plug-in hybrids.
