The Volvo EX90, an electric alternative to the wildly popular XC90 SUV, unveiled on November 9, just over a month from now. Volvo gave us a glimpse of its future design. We’ve also seen supposed patent images credibly portraying the forthcoming electric SUV.
Volvo has confirmed the EX90’s vehicle-to-load function, also known as its capacity to charge in both directions. It enables the car to run anything from home appliances to those at a campsite.
Main Features Of Volvo EX90
The manufacturer predicts that this capability will become more crucial in the future, even for powering homes. Volvo has released a film called “What if your car could power your life?” which illustrates the various advantages of bi-directional charging. It also discloses that upcoming EV models will use battery packs larger than 100 kwh.
Additionally, owners of EX90s could use their batteries to store power from the grid or from the power output of their own homes. They can sell it back to the energy provider, generating passive income. These functions won’t be available in all markets, but they would undoubtedly be helpful worldwide given the rising cost of energy.
Volvo unveiled the inside radar, another EX90 technology. This feature’s main objective is to minimise fatalities caused by heat-related accidents. The technology reportedly has enough sensitivity to identify a little sleeping baby and activates when the car is locked.
The EX90 will also offer advanced autonomous driving and safety systems. With 16 ultrasonic sensors, five radars, and eight cameras on the outside. Given that this will be Volvo’s flagship model, new and cutting-edge anticipates safety technologies to be added to make it the brand’s safest vehicle ever.
The lidar system maps out the area surrounding the vehicle and can take action, slowing down or adjusting the steering slightly to avoid obstructions or dangers. These new capabilities can cut the risk of fatalities or major injuries by up to 20%.
Given its large SUV designation, the electric version could introduce new powertrain configurations. Volvo will give customers the option between basic and long-range versions of its new EVs. The latter has a range of up to 498 kilometres between charges.
