　　The 2025 Volvo EX90 is set to become the brand’s all-electric flagship, ushering in what the automaker describes as a “new era” that will, sometime around decade’s end, see it shift completely to battery-electric vehicles. 　　To get a better sense of what direction the Swedish-based, Chinese-owned automaker is taking, I spent a couple of days along the Southern California coast...
