Volvo introduced the all-electric ES90 sedan. The ES90 is designed to evolve over time and powered by next-generation core computers that represent an eight-fold improvement over the previous generation. It’s the first Volvo car with 800V technology , for a longer range and faster charging than any electric Volvo before.

With orderbooks open now in selected markets, the ES90 is the latest addition to the product portfolio of premium Volvo cars. It is the sixth fully electric model in the line-up, joining the EX90, EM90, EX40, EC40 and EX30.

The ES90 is built on the SPA2 architecture and, like the EX90, based on the Volvo Cars Superset tech stack. This consists of one single set of hardware and software modules that will underpin all upcoming Volvo electric cars. It allows the company to improve the overall performance and safety technology in the car throughout its lifecycle and roll them out quickly via over-the-air updates across all models based on the Superset.

The Superset is enabled by core computing, and the ES90 is the first Volvo car to be powered by a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin configuration. That makes it the most powerful car we have ever created in terms of core computing capacity. This allows us to further raise the bar on safety and overall performance through data, software and AI.

Volvo’s new 800-volt technology makes its debut in the ES90, helping to unlock faster charging, a better overall performance and more efficiency. The result is a car that goes further and charges faster than any electric Volvo before. The ES90 can add 300 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes at 350 kW fast charging stations and offers a driving range of up to 700 kilometers under the WLTP testing cycle.

The bold proportions of the ES90 also contribute to the car’s efficiency and translate into a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.25. This illustrates how efficiently a car moves through the air and is the lowest of any car we’ve ever built. The lower the value, the more efficient the car, which for customers means less energy consumption and a longer driving range.
