Volvo EX90 Model 2026 Now Uses 800-Volt Architecture, 10 Minute Battery Fill Reaches 250 Km

JAKARTA The 800-volt electric architecture is now a trend in the electric car world as it offers many advantages over the 400-volt system that has been more commonly used. This technology allows charging much faster, capable of dealing with higher electricity with better efficiency.

Volvo is not left behind. Just a year after its launch, their flagship three-line electric SUV, EX90 model in 2026, officially switched from 400-volt system to 800-volt architecture. This update promises much shorter charging times, performance improvements, and lighter vehicle weights.

Reporting from the manufacturer's website, Wednesday, September 24, it is stated that this new system EX90 2026 can increase its reach by about 250 km in just 10 minutes or increase by about 70 km compared to the previous model. The SUV is also now compatible with a DC 350 kW fast charger, cutting charging time by 10 to 80 percent drastically from about 30 minutes to much shorter.

Not only about charging, but Volvo is also perfecting the technology side. A stronger onboard computer now allows AI-based features and advanced driver assistance systems such as slippery road warnings, road detection in front, to Emergency Stop Assist. Comfort is also improved thanks to the presence of an electro-chromamic panoramic roof whose transparency can be regulated according to the driver's wishes.

Interestingly, this update is not only for new models. The owner of Volvo EX90 2025 will get a free core computer upgrade through service visits scheduled for Volvo's official workshop.

According to Anders Bell, Chief Technology & Engineering Officer at Volvo Cars, this update demonstrates the company's commitment to utilizing AI and software.

"This additional computing system allows us to leverage AI power, data and software to further improve EX90's overall safety and performance," he said.

The official price of EX90 2026 has not been announced, but the order has been opened.
