Volvo is in a celebratory mood this week, as the factory outside Charleston, South Carolina, has now started building the new electric flagship SUV – and the first customer deliveries are scheduled for the second half of this year.

The EX90 not only expands Volvo's portfolio of fully electric cars but also represents a paradigm shift for the company as it is the first Volvo car powered by core computing technology – a technology that enables a new era of safety for its cars.

The first customer-bound EX90 that rolled off the Charleston line was a striking model painted in Denim Blue, destined for a customer in the United States later this year.

“The fully electric Volvo EX90 is the start of a new era for Volvo Cars – a new era for safety, sustainability and human-centric technology,” says Jim Rowan, our chief executive. “The EX90 is proudly manufactured in the USA and reflects our long-term commitment to our people in South Carolina and the broader US market.”
