The first time it failed was on December 15, 2025 and was replaced under warranty and released back to me on December 31, 2025. Then on February 4, 2026, it failed to charge on a Level 2 charger and was confirmed to have a second onboard charger failure.

It took a few weeks for the dealer to order them and install them. Looking at other active listings it appears most of the 6-seat Volvo EX90s being offered for sale is missing the seat track covers.

On Saturday 6th December, I unplugged the car from the A/C charger after it had finished charging to 90% in my garage and there was a very loud bang heard from under the car. The dashboard then reported there is a fault with the car and it cannot charge. Took the car to the dealer same day and they suspected it was a failed GHCA part (AC to DC converter). https://plaincars.com/make/volvo-ex90 https://plaincars.com/make/volvo-ex90#complaint-2162534 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT Charging failure.
