The 2026 Volvo EX90 model introduces an 800 V architecture that significantly improves charging speed.
The Volvo EX90 electric SUV takes a new step in 2026 with the introduction of an 800-volt electrical system. This technological development reduces heat generation during charging and allows for much higher speeds compared to the previous 400 V system. Thanks to an internally developed battery management software, the manufacturer announces up to 250 km of range recovered in just ten minutes.
This improvement is not limited to charging. The 800 V architecture also allows for higher power delivery, enhancing acceleration and energy efficiency. It also helps to lighten the vehicle by reducing the use of materials for the battery and electric motors.
The big Volvo evolves
In terms of safety, the Volvo EX90 receives a series of major updates. The extension of connected alerts allows real-time reporting of slippery roads or accidents, while the ESA emergency braking assistant can immobilize the vehicle if the driver fails to react. In this case, the new e-call system automatically connects to emergency services.
The Swedish manufacturer is also betting on artificial intelligence. The EX90 adopts a dual central computer based on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin platform, capable of processing 500 TOPS. This computing power opens the door to scalable safety features, better driving assistance, and continuous improvements to multimedia and energy management systems, all deployed via remote updates. Owners of the 2025 version will benefit from this upgrade free of charge during a service visit.
Finally, the 2026 model year introduces a tinted panoramic roof, already seen on the new ES90 sedan, allowing the interior brightness to be adjusted as needed.
