can be restored in 10 minutes. Plug and
Play charging lets owners initiate public
refills with no hassle and automated
payments. Like Ford's F-150 Lightning
pickup, the EX90's bi-directional capability
(with a separate wall box required)
can power homes, gear or even
another EV.

the windshield.
economical driving modes, the EX90
will send about 180 kW (241 hp)
through its smaller front-axle motor
alone, according to Simone Vizzini, engineering
team leader for battery systems.
An elegantly designed electromechanical
clutch can separate front and
rear axles and sideline the rear motor.
Vehicle top speed is limited to 180
kph (112 mph) for safety's sake. " Any
faster, and you'd just drain the battery
anyway, " Vizzini said.
That structural load-bearing battery
pack, with 204 cells and 17 modules
resting on a glycol circuit-coolant plate,
guards against crash intrusion for batteries
and human occupants alike. Lutz
Stiegler, solution manager for electric
propulsion, says that compared with
Volvo's Recharge models, the EX90's
overall efficiency - the percentage of
onboard energy converted to forward
motion - rises from 87% to nearly 92%,
an enormous leap in engineering terms.
That's also a major clue to the big
EX90's expected one-third increase in
driving range versus the much-smaller
XC40 Recharge, at 300 miles versus
223 miles (482 km vs. 359 km).
Despite engineering a 400-volt electrical
architecture, versus the 800-to-900V
used by Porsche's Taycan or the Lucid
Air, Volvo managed to boost DC fast
charging to a maximum 250 kW, topping
the 200 kW of a Mercedes EQS SUV or
Rivian R1S. Compared with Volvo
Recharge EVs, charging current rises from
375 amps to 670 amps, Vizzini noted.
Volvo claims an 80% state of charge
can be achieved in about 30 minutes or
that 180 km (112 mi.) of driving range
