GOTHENBURG: The upcoming Volvo EX60 offers up to a best-in-class 810km (WLTP) on a single charge in an all-wheel drive configuration, beating even its most recently revealed competitors.
“The EX60 is designed to be a gamechanger,” says Volvo Cars chief technology officer Anders Bell.
“With our new electric vehicle architecture, we directly address the main worries that customers have when considering a switch to a fully electric car. The result is class-leading range and fast charging speeds, marking the end of range anxiety.”
The EX60 does not only boast the longest range of any fully electric Volvo, it also charges faster than any electric Volvo before in all weather conditions.
The EX60 can add up to 340km of range in just 10 minutes when using a 400kW fast charger.
All EX60 customers get a 10-year warranty on the battery.
The key to the class-leading range is SPA3, Volvo Cars’ most advanced electric car architecture to date, which underpins the EX60.
Integrating the battery directly into the structure of the car with cell-to-body technology and developing e-motors in-house makes the EX60 more energy efficient and cuts excessive weight.
The new cell design of the EX60’s battery carefully balances energy density and power delivery, further increasing driving range.
The EX60 is the first Volvo car built with the help of mega casting, whereby hundreds of smaller parts are replaced with a single, high-precision casting in the production process.
This reduces weight, which again improves range.
The fast charging speeds are made possible by Volvo Cars’ new 800-volt electrical system and in-house developed software, which together move energy into the battery more efficiently.
The use of lighter materials and less heat generation also support faster charging times.
Clever algorithms developed by Volvo Cars’ portfolio company Breathe Battery Technologies have also been incorporated in the EX60.
These allow the car to constantly adjust how the battery takes in power, keeping it in its ideal operating zone at all times and in all weather conditions.
Finally, because this is an electric car with less moving parts, it does not have to undergo conventional service as often.
The Volvo EX60 will be revealed on Jan 21, 2026.
