Volvo is raising the bar with its new fully electric ES90. It’s the fastest-charging Volvo yet, and with up to 435 miles (700 km) range, it can also drive further than ever. Volvo calls it “one of the most technically advanced cars,” EV or gas-powered on the market.
With its official debut just a week away, Volvo is giving us a closer look at its flagship electric sedan set to shake up the EV market.
With up to 435 miles (700 km) WLTP driving range, the ES90 can drive further than any Volvo available today. Although it will be slightly lower on the EPA scale, it’s still a significant upgrade over its current lineup. Volvo’s three-row EX90 has a WLTP range of 373 miles (600 km) and 310 miles EPA-estimated range.
The ES90 is also the brand’s fastest charging, giving you over 185 miles (300 km) in just 10 minutes. Volvo says the higher performance is thanks to its advanced new 800V electric system.

According to Bell, the advanced platform “helps you charge your electric Volvo faster and go further on a single charge. “
Most electric vehicles today use a 400V system outside the Tesla Cybertruck, Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, most Hyundai Motor Group models (including Kia and Genesis), and a select few others. With up to 350 kW, it could even charge faster.
Combined with its Superset tech stack, the ES90 is “one of the most technically advanced cars on the market today,” Bell said.
I'm impressed Volvo is releasing this in the US. I feel like we don't get anything new that is not an overpriced BESUV these days.
The flagship electric sedan will be Volvo’s first vehicle with dual NVIDIA Drive AGX Orin computers and its most powerful in terms of computing capacity.
NVIDIA’s new in-vehicle platform delivers about 508 trillion operations per second (TOPS), a considerable upgrade over the 254 trillion TOPS in its previous Drive Orin system.
Volvo’s new EV will include an array of sensors, a lidar, five radars, eight cameras, and twelve ultrasonic sensors, providing advanced safety and assisted driving features.
The ES90 will officially debut next week on March 5. You can watch the livestream event on YouTube here. Check back soon with Volvo revealing additional info leading up to the event.
