Volvo is set to unveil its midsize electric SUV, the EX60, and has already revealed some key details ahead of its official debut on January 21st. The standout feature of the EX60 is its estimated range of 400 miles (810km based on the WLTP standard), surpassing any previous Volvo electric vehicle, with the exception of the upcoming ES90 sedan which boasts a 434-mile range.
The EX60 will be the first Volvo vehicle to utilize the megacasting production process, which is expected to enhance weight reduction and manufacturing efficiency. Akhil Krishnan, head of program management for the EX60, emphasized Volvo’s commitment to delivering an electric vehicle with no compromises, aiming to address range anxiety for drivers.
Improving both range and charging speed were top priorities for Krishnan and his team. Volvo’s goal is to provide drivers with ample range and a seamless charging experience, aligning with natural human breaks such as a quick coffee stop or restroom break, with the car ready to go within minutes. The EX60’s 800-volt architecture is poised to revolutionize the electric vehicle landscape by offering a blend of impressive range and rapid charging capabilities.
