due at dealerships about the same time as the EX90. Both SUVs are also scheduled to be built at Volvo's plant in Charleston, South Carolina, where the Volvo S60 is currently built.Like the Polestar 3, the EX90 will come with a 111-kwh battery that should deliver approximately 300 miles of range.

, which will enable true hands-off, eyes-off travel on certain highways. Timing for Ride Pilot isn't clear, though the first market has been confirmed as California.Inside the EX90, there's a clean, uncluttered dash that looks like it was borrowed from a Tesla. Volvo purposefully paired back elements so the driver can focus on the road. This extends to the user interface, which features intelligent operation to ensure only the most vital information is shown or requested at any time.
Bi-directional charging, also referred to as vehicle-to-grid or vehicle-to-load charging, will also be on offer in some markets. It means the vehicle can discharge electricity, either back into the grid, or to power a home, or to power an electric device where a power outlet isn't available, like at a camp or construction site. It could potentially be used to charge other EVs, too. Volvo hasn't said if this feature will be offered in the U.S.
Despite the impending arrival of the EX90, the XC90 is still selling near record levels for the nameplate. Last year Volvo managed to sell 38,657 examples in the U.S., which is the highest level for the current-generation XC90 and the second highest in the nameplate's history. As a result, the XC90 will stay on sale for a period after the EX90 arrives.
