Volvo ES90 Begins Production, But We Have to Wait a Bit
Volvo has officially begun production on the new ES90 all-electric sedan. Not only is this the first large all-electric sedan from Volvo, it’s also the first vehicle to include the brand’s 800-volt technology. This should allow even more rapid charging speeds when it hits the market later in 2025.
The ES90 uses the manufacturer’s next-generation Superset tech stack, which is a fancy name for a set of powerful computers. This enables the car to be updated over the air for improvements in the future.
“The fully electric ES90 marks a major milestone as Volvo Cars steps into a new era of safety, sustainability and human-centric technology,” says Francesca Gamboni, chief industrial operations officer at Volvo Cars. “With production now underway, we’re reaffirming our commitment to a fully electrified future and proving our ability to innovate and meet customer demands.”
Currently, customers in several European markets can now order the ES90 with the first cars arriving before year’s end. Next up will be what Volvo considers key markets in the Asia Pacific, with North America following at a later date. The car will be built at the brand’s Chengdu plant in China.
