Volvo Cars has inaugurated the manufacturing of the EX90, its premier fully electric SUV, at a facility just outside Charleston, South Carolina. This launch signals a transformative leap in Volvo’s strategic push towards electrification and advanced vehicle safety.
Jim Rowan, Volvo’s Chief Executive, heralded the EX90 as a pivotal advancement, encapsulating the company’s shift to core computing technology which promises an unprecedented era of vehicle safety. The initial unit, a Denim Blue SUV, is poised for delivery to an American customer later this year.
Opened in 2018, the Charleston site stands as a testament to Volvo’s enduring commitment to the U.S. market—a relationship nearly seven decades strong. Currently, the plant boasts an annual capacity of 150,000 vehicles and produces both the EX90 and the S60 sedan. Recent upgrades have introduced a modern battery pack production line and expanded the body and paint shops.
The EX90 is engineered on Volvo’s innovative electric vehicle platform, designed to offer a driving range of up to 300 miles. This SUV prioritizes safety with its integration of cutting-edge passive and active safety technology, supported by a comprehensive sensor network. Its design adheres to Volvo’s Scandinavian aesthetic, emphasizing safety, efficiency, and elegance, making it an ideal choice for family use.

Volvo’s forward-thinking does not stop at hardware; the EX90’s software ecosystem is robust, maintaining constant connectivity and evolving through continual AI-driven software updates—evidence of Volvo’s leadership in the automotive industry’s technological evolution.
As with all electric models, the performance metrics like range and energy consumption of the EX90 will vary with driving habits and external conditions. Volvo recommends visiting the EPA’s official website for the latest information on vehicle efficiency standards.
