We have separated our Volvo EM90 article into sections. If you want to wait to read the full article, click the links below to the different areas. We also have an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections:

Performance

The Volvo EM90 has a maximum power of 200 KW (272 hp/268 bhp). The total torque is 686 nm (506 ft-lb). It performs the 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) in 8.3 seconds. The top speed is 190 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 116kWh and a net capacity of 110kWh, meaning you have a 6kWh buffer for protection. (5.2%). The Lithium-Ion battery uses NMC technology.

The CLTC range is 738 km ( miles). The consumption is 14.9kWh/100km for the CLTC standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 200kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 66 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 31 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 5% to 55%, resulting in an actual charge speed, including time loss, of 139kW. Each charge session would take 24 minutes and 48 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 28kWh/100km, 1000km will take 9 hours and 34 minutes. This trip will require three charge session(s) charging from 4% to 56%. The total time lost for charging up the battery will be 74 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11 KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 10 hours and 0 minutes.
