Thanks for more S90 goodies 😘 Personally I find both the ES90 and upcoming EX60 very interesting.. Just hoping for a bump in battery tech. Or maybe 800V architecture.. Great video Thom 🙌
Looks like it’s going to be awesome car, if a bit big for most. The ES60 and in wagon form would be even more awesome. Why was the second leaker working on the Polestar 2 along with the S90? Interesting…
I am so looking forward to this car, but i am dreading them dking away with the grille design of the s90. To this day, people that see the front of my 2018 s90 for the very first time do a double take and say out loud how aggressive yet elegant the styling is. I know the vented grille is not needed with the EV but I think it gives the car such an awesome stance
Too big for me. But it seems the Polestar2.1 will share the underpinnings with that, albeit in shorter form I hope, it might be an interesting car. In the mean time, Volvo still has to explain how are they hoping to reach 250kW of peak charging power with an 400V class architecture on public chargers.🤷♂️ Although 500A isn’t an official max value anymore for CCS, and some charging infrastructure manufacturers talk about their chargers being able to boost the current to 600A, I still haven’t heard of any CPO announcing that their latest charging post will offer 600A boost(temp controlled).
I dislike sedans because they are impractical (trunk instead of rear-cargo area with a hatch; ground clearance miniscule). I dislike SUVs because they are too large, heavy, bulky, and almost universally ugly. My preference is for raised wagons, which Volvo has been a master at making (aside from their recent dallying off into Tesla-land in terms of horrible computer screens replacing safer buttons/dials/switches). In northeastern USA, and I think in Europe also, Volvo wagons have traditionally outsold Volvo sedans by a wide margin, for a good reason. The reason that Volvo wagons aren't selling so well now (neither are their sedans) is entirely due to their lack of physical buttons/switches, lack of available information in the instrument panel, video-game-like computer screens, and overly feminine interior design (for soccer moms) -- not because they are "wagons", per se. Many of us prefer lifted wagons to sedans or SUVs (not low-ground-clearance wagons) as the ideal compromise between longer-range sedans and raised big SUVs. Ask anybody what Volvo is historically known for, and the vast majority will say "wagons" (not SUVs or sedans, unless their historical knowledge is limited to the last decade or so). Also, the XC60 is Volvo's biggest seller. So why Volvo makes the XC40 and then the XC90 their first all-electric cars, and then the EX30, and a sedan their next (not counting C40, which is a chopped-off XC40), is odd to me -- maybe because they're giving up on wagons? If they give up on wagons, they've lost a lot of potential customers. Polestar is doing it better with (first) the Polestar 2 and (second) the Polestar 3, the former being a practical hatchback sedan and the latter being ostensibly their version of the Cross Country wagon; but Polestar's interiors suck.

Love how detailed you are with your presentations. I think this will be a FLAG SHIP Ev... Wow!
Interestings news, looking forward to first pictures of it
Me too! Shouldn’t take that anymore 😄
I’d love it if they made the grill look like that. 😍

I want an EC90 ! What the Concept Coupe of 2013 should have become !
I hope Volvo comes out with an EV60 Cross Country, or an EX40 on a bespoke ev platform to replace the XC40 Recharge.
Take me for a ride! 🎉

I owned a s90 and it was totaled. I brought a c40 until this day would come. I want another s90 but an updated version.
Can you really get up to 406 miles with a Long Range/Single Motor Polestar 2?

Amidst an Arctic Blast and I am sad that they are going all electric. Everything suffers in winter - range, charging speed, etc.
