Volvo has set its sights on electric vehicle supremacy, unveiling the EX60 crossover that promises an impressive EPA range of 400 miles - a benchmark beating all other Volvos and many other EVs. This ambitious move is aimed directly at addressing one of the most pressing concerns for potential adopters of fully electric cars: range anxiety.
According to Volvo's CTO Anders Bell, the company has made significant strides in maximizing endurance through its advanced SPA3 EV architecture, which integrates the battery into the car's structure with cutting-edge cell-to-body technology. Furthermore, the Swedish automaker developed its own e-motors, a crucial factor in improving efficiency and reducing weight.
Fast charging is another area where Volvo is pushing the boundaries. The EX60 boasts an 800-volt electrical system that can support up to 400 kW fast charging - allowing users to recharge their vehicle and gain back up to 168 miles of range in just 10 minutes. Newer, lighter materials and reduced heat generation further accelerate this process, meaning the car can add over 100 miles of range in mere minutes.
The key to all these advancements is Volvo's innovative megacasting process, which replaces hundreds of smaller parts with a single high-precision casting - significantly reducing weight while boosting manufacturing efficiency. The result? A class-leading range and fast charging speeds that are expected to alleviate the fears of potential electric vehicle adopters.
With its ambitious plans firmly in place, Volvo is gearing up to unveil the EX60 on January 21st, 2026, as part of a live stream event hosted on the company's website.
