Volvo's latest electric vehicles are having some troubles. Earlier this week, the business stated that the EX30, which was slated to arrive in the United States this summer with a starting price of around $30,000, will be delayed until 2025 after the United States increased duties on Chinese-built EVs. Now it appears that the company's flagship, the 2025 EX90, which has finally begun production after being delayed from an early 2024 arrival date, will be delivered with some of its equipment inoperable.Volvo has began sending emails to customers who have reserved the EX90, connecting to a list of items that "may be delayed when taking delivery of your EX90," according to Motor1. The list contains two driver aid features: cross-traffic alert with automated braking and curve speed assist, which reduces the vehicle's speed while using adaptive cruise control or Pilot Assist. According to the website, the lidar system will be updated in the future to fully utilize its capabilities.The delays will also effect the cabin, as consumers will have to wait to use wireless Apple CarPlay and will have to rely on the infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster's dark mode for now. Charging is also impacted. The bidirectional charging option, which allows owners to send power from the automobile back to their home or into the grid, will not be available at first. The Smart Charging program, which automatically identifies the ideal charging times based on pricing and efficiency while taking into account scheduled departures, is also delayed.Volvo also claims that owners will notice minimal battery depletion while parked due to the car's need to keep the EX90's core computer running. The EX90 will lose approximately three percent of its charge in 24 hours, and if left parked for 72 hours without charging, the car will enter a "deep sleep" mode to conserve electricity. Volvo said this will be rectified in a future release
