The upcoming ES90 electric car from Volvo is claimed to provide a driving range of up to 700km, writes Brian Byrne. It will also be capable of adding 300km of range in just ten minutes at an appropriate 350kW charging point.
The faster charging is due to an 800v electric architecture combined with new battery management software. The ES90 will be the first Volvo with the 800v system.
As part of the company's sustainability effort, 29pc of aluminium and 18pc of steel used in building the car is recycled product.
