WhichEV was invited to Stockholm to get hands-on with Volvo’s latest electric vehicle, the ES90, which promises to improve charging speed and driving range through the use of 800-volt technology. Volvo told us that the ES90 can add up to 300km/186mi of range in just 10 minutes when connected to a 350kW fast-charging station. The model also offers a maximum driving range of up to 700km/435mi on a single charge under the WLTP cycle.
