Quick verdict
The Volvo ES90 has the higher published DC charging figure at 350 kW, but the published charge-time data matters more for road-trip stops. The Genesis G80 Electrified is listed at about 22 minutes versus 23 minutes for the Volvo ES90. The Genesis G80 Electrified is more efficient at approximately 184 Wh/km. The Volvo ES90 offers more WLTP rated range at 700 km.
Side-by-Side Specs
| Spec | Genesis G80 Electrified | Volvo ES90 |
|---|---|---|
| Compared variant | AWD | Twin Motor |
| Battery (approx.) | ~90 kWh | ~102 kWh |
| WLTP range (rated) | ~520 km | ~700 km |
| Efficiency (approx.) | ~184 Wh/km | ~191 Wh/km |
| DC fast charging (published) | up to 240 kW | up to 350 kW |
| 10-80% charge time (approx.) | ~22 min | ~23 min |
| Max AC charging | up to 11 kW | up to 11 kW |
| DC connector | CCS2 | CCS2 |
Charging Speed
The Volvo ES90 has the higher published DC charging figure at 350 kW, which is roughly 46% higher than the Genesis G80 Electrified at 240 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the Genesis G80 Electrified is listed at about 22 minutes, which is 1 minutes quicker than the Volvo ES90 at 23 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Volvo ES90 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 700 km, which is roughly 180 km more than the Genesis G80 Electrified at approximately 520 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Genesis G80 Electrified consumes 184 Wh/km, compared to 191 Wh/km for the Volvo ES90. That means the Genesis G80 Electrified uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Volvo ES90 has approximately 102 kWh of useable battery , while the Genesis G80 Electrified has approximately 90 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
The Volvo ES90 has the higher published DC figure at up to 350 kW, but the Genesis G80 Electrified has the shorter published charge time at approximately 22 minutes versus approximately 23 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Genesis G80 Electrified is the more efficient choice at 184 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Volvo ES90 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 700 km, which is roughly 180 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
