The 2025 Volvo EX90 EV is a breakthrough vehicle for the automaker, but is it a day late and a dollar short?
There will be two versions of the 2025 Volvo EX90 EV that starts with the 402 horsepower standard Twin-Motor model, and ending with the 510 hp Twin-Motor-Performance model. Both will have the massive 111.0 kWh battery, and are supposed to be capable of up to 308 miles range. That is, if you get the 21-inch wheels. If you get the 20 or 22-inch wheels, that mileage drops to 296 miles. Curious that the midsize wheel is the most efficient option.
Equipped with a 400 Watt architecture, the EX90’s “typical” from 10 to 80% with 250kW DC fast charging takes about 30-minutes. That’s according to Volvo. Its closest competitor, the Kia EV9 has a higher charge rate. Volvo says the EX90 can charge up to 100-percent on Level II in 10-hours a using single phase 45A charger. Overnight charging should be no issue for those who can.

The Kia EV9, Tesla Model-X, and the Rivian RS-1 have already beaten Volvo to the market. Soon there will be quite a few players lining up to be competitive.
Packaging and proportions are very close to the current XC90 (a new model is due soon), this crossover is set up to hold seven passengers in three rows. Roman takes us through a comprehensive tour of the interior of the 2025 Volvo EX90 EV, and gives us his impressions. He’s not happy with the Tesla-like screen controls, and “plastickey” steering wheel controls. He does like the overall ease of use with the system, and marveled at the recycled components used inside.
Roman, at over 6’2″ needs space, but he’s willing to push himself by entering the second and third row of the Volvo. As he ventures into the back, he muses about the U.S., Swedish, and Chinese roots of this vehicle. Watching him getting in and out of the third row is worth the watch alone.
Starting at $79,995 MSRP, the 2025 Volvo EX90 EV will be in dealerships in late 2024, but you can reserve one now.
