WE VISIT TELO FOR THE DEBUT OF ITS PROTOTYPE, VOLVO ES90 DEBUTS WITH 800 VOLTS

EV Channels Review

The Volvo ES90 marks a significant step for Volvo's electric lineup, debuting as their first 800-volt vehicle built on the versatile SPA2 platform, shared with the Polestar 3. This new architecture promises faster charging and increased range, with Volvo claiming an impressive 186 miles (300 km) can be added in just a 10-minute stop, and a WLTP range of 435 miles (700 km). The ES90 is a full-size liftback sedan, measuring over 5 meters long with a substantial 3.1-meter wheelbase, offering ample interior space, particularly for rear passengers. Its design, featuring Thor's hammer headlights and new C-lights, blends saloon proportions with crossover-like height, enhanced by 22-inch wheels on the Ultra trim. While the vehicle is slated for the Chinese market and potentially other regions, its introduction to the US is uncertain due to potential tariffs. The ES90 is positioned as a premium offering, with pricing starting around £72,000, and is presented as a luxurious, relaxing sanctuary for its occupants, featuring a 25-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system and advanced processing capabilities.
