Volvo EX90 is full of errors – must be started with laptop

The new Volvo EX90 can easily cost over DKK 1 million in Denmark. But the car is so full of errors that technicians start it with a laptop.

Driving an electric car should be easy. Just not at Volvo. The new EX90 is so full of errors that technicians have to start the car with a laptop.

A technician had to have computers under his arm when a team of journalists that Volvo had invited to test drives in the USA could not get the car to run.

– Some even had to let Volvo's technicians connect a laptop to get the car to recognize someone. Not exactly confidence-inspiring, writes The Verge .

At Motor Trend, one of the world's largest online car media, they write about the car that not even the seat belts work properly. At least the car's electronics howl about passengers who aren't even in the car.

– Two identical errors occurred in two different choir uniforms, we short. A glitch caused it to beep that our second row passengers had taken off their seat belts. But in fact the seat belts were not fastened at all, because no one was sitting in the back seat.

And at InsideEV's, the car also gets a beating for its many faults. In almost none of the cars demonstrated by the media, it worked, which can otherwise be accessed directly from the phone.

InsideEV's also pointed out that the cars Volvo invited for testing are not prototypes. These are cars that are sent out to waiting customers.

Common to the media is that they write that the cars only worked after a team of technicians had looked at them. And it's not a good start for Volvo.

However, the problems for the EX90 already began before the first cars had been sent to the streets. It turns out that the technology in the cars has been under way for so long that it is already outdated.

Volvo acknowledges to its customers that they will be paying for cars with a number of functions that do not work at all. For example, the brand cannot get a number of assistant systems and Apple CarPlay to work. Nevertheless, Volvo is now sending the first cars out to customers.

The problems are the same as the far smaller – and strangely enough extremely popular in Denmark – electric car EX30. In fact, that car has so many problems that Volvo has bought back several of the cars from angry owners. Read more about it here .
