HYUNDAI NACS ADAPTERS, HERTZ EV SALES, VOLVO EX 90

EV Channels Review

The Friday Charge podcast reviews the Volvo EX90, labeling it as one of the best EVs driven to date. Hosts Joel and Sebastian were highly impressed with its Scandinavian luxury, minimalist yet premium interior, advanced software, and unique features like the moving mirror housings and self-leveling suspension. While acknowledging its DC fast charging performance is not class-leading, with a peak around 200-250 kW and a consistent, albeit diagonal, charge curve, they found the 10-80% charge in 30 minutes acceptable. The EX90's sound system was highlighted as exceptional. The review also touches upon Hyundai's free NACS adapter rollout for older models, Hertz's aggressive used EV sales tactics, new EV tax credit qualifications for 2025, and Tesla's missed 2024 delivery targets due to increased competition and product cycle timing.
