Volvo ES90 To Offer Up To 700 Km Range, Charge At Up To 350 kW

Volvo has revealed some of the powertrain details of its first electric sedan, the ES90, ahead of its debut on March 5. Underpinned by the SPA2 architecture - the same as the EX90, the ES90 will be the brand’s flagship sedan, with Volvo having previously said that it “will showcase the company’s advanced technology capabilities.” Now, the company has confirmed new details about its electric sedan, with the most notable being that it will be underpinned by an all-new 800V electrical architecture.

New ES90 will support up to 350 kW DC fast charging; 10-80 per cent charge to take just 20 mins

Volvo says that the new sedan will be its fastest charging EVs to date with the 800V electrical architecture allowing for DC fast charging at rates of up to 350 kW - up from the EX90’s 250 kW. The company says this will allow users to juice up the battery from 10-80 per cent in as little as 20 minutes - up to 30 per cent faster than all other Volvo EVs currently on sale. Volvo says that a 10-minute charge will add as much as 300 km of range to the electric sedan.

The other crucial figure shared by the company is the model’s range. Volvo says that the ES90 has a WLTP figure of up to 700 km. This figure is for the all-wheel drive model, which the company says will come fitted with a 106 kWh battery pack. Power figures and performance numbers are yet to be disclosed. A single motor variant is also expected to be offered, though details for it remain under wraps.
 

Volvo says ES90 AWD with 106 kWh battery to offer up to 700 km range (WLTP).

Volvo says that ‘every component in the electric system’ has been upgraded to be compatible with the new 800V architecture. The company says that all the electrical systems from the drive motors to the battery packs and even the thermal management systems, have been upgraded to 800V compliance with some components - such as the electric motors - also being lighter than before, thus reducing weight and boosting efficiency.
