Volvo<\/ins><\/a> has unveiled<\/ins><\/a> its first fully electric minivan, which is geared toward comfort. So much so, the brand describes the EM90 as a “living room on the move.” While it might be comfy enough to travel in while wearing PJs, Volvo is pitching the EV as an option for those who want a space where they can get work done too.<\/p>\n

The EM90 is infused with sound isolation and road noise cancellation tech, while Volvo claims that dual chamber air suspension and silent tires will offer the driver and passengers a smooth ride. If that works as promised, you’ll be able to get the most out of an audio system that has 21 Bowers & Wilkins speakers.<\/p>\n

Along with a 15.4-inch infotainment screen for the driver, there’s a roof-mounted 15.6-inch HD display to which you can cast shows and movies from your phone. Attach a compatible camera, and the screen can be used for video calls. 5G connectivity will come in handy for business-minded users too.<\/p>\n

Many of the EM90’s functions can be controlled with your voice, including the audio and interior lighting. With a voice command or by flicking a switch, the car’s screens, seats, windows, air conditioner and lighting can be adjusted for theater or meeting room use \u2014 or even a bedroom setup for the rear seats, Volvo says.<\/p>\n

If the EM90 looks familiar, that’s because it’s based on the 009 from Zeekr, Volvo’s sibling brand, as Electrek<\/ins><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>points out. It has a 200 kW electric motor that can take it from 0 to 100 kmph (62.1 mph) in 8.3 seconds. The EV has a 116 kWh battery (with bi-directional charging support) that Volvo claims can charge from 10 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

On top of all of that, the EM90 has an impressive range, at least on paper. Volvo says it has a range of up to 738 km (459 miles) based on China’s CLTC testing cycle. The vehicle will only be available in China at first and it starts at around $114,000. It’s unclear if or when the EV will arrive elsewhere.<\/p>\n
