Volvo: Maximum connectivity and plenty of space in the EX90 🎥
APP AS KEY The electrically powered Volvo EX90 has just celebrated its world premiere in Stockholm. At its heart is a broad ecosystem of services and functions, some of which can be controlled via smartphone.
The smartphone app is the key to the most advanced Volvo model yet, the new EX90. It not only replaces the vehicle key, but also bundles various services and functions related to the vehicle in one place. For example, the nearest charging station can be found via app and recharging can be paid for conveniently, and charging at home is also possible with the smartphone.
Fully automatic charging with Plug & Charge
The EX90 is also the first Volvo model to support Plug & Charge. Once this function is available, the electric car can be plugged into any compatible public charging station - and charging begins fully automatically.
The seven-seater has a drive output of 300 kW (408 hp), enabling an acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. One battery charge is said to enable ranges of up to 600 kilometers. At the fast-charging station, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes.
Information comes on two displays
Inside the EX90, there are two large screens that provide information and allow easy access to almost all functions. Various Google apps and services simplify operation. The networking also creates a seamless connection between vehicle and home.
Customers can navigate almost anywhere in real time, stream their favorite music and download apps. Compatibility with Apple Carplay and Android Auto adds to the intuitive experience. The EX90 is the first Volvo to offer Dolby Atmos surround sound. The Bowers & Wilkins audio system guarantees impressive sound with 25 speakers.
Powering your own home
Thanks to its bidirectional charging capability, the new car also serves as a mobile energy storage unit, as the energy stored in the high-voltage battery can be used to power the car's own home. It can also be used to charge other electrical devices such as e-bikes and even electric cars. So, if you will, Volvo drivers could join forces to form a virtual power plant and feed energy back into the public grid.
