Volvo has announced details of its forthcoming electric EX60, which offers the potential for an industry-leading battery range.
Making its official debut later this month, the new EX60 is the latest electric SUV to join the Swedish marque’s model lineup.
Although Volvo is holding back most details about the EX60 until the full reveal, it has confirmed how far the car can travel on a full charge.
Impessively, the EX60 will be capable of up to 503 miles without a charging stop, even in all-wheel-drive configuration.
This battery range would enable the new EV to drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco, or from Stockholm to Oslo, without needing to recharge.
The EX60’s range is made possible by being the first Volvo to use the new Scalable Product Architecture 3 (SPA3) platform.
Shared with sister company Polestar, SPA3 integrates the battery cells directly into the body of the EX60. It also uses new e-motors developed in-house.
When the EX60 does need to be charged, its batteries can also be replenished faster than any electric model in Volvo’s history.
Capable of using public DC devices with speeds of up to 400kW, a charging time of 10 minutes potentially gives the EX60 more than 200 miles of battery range.
Volvo’s new 800-volt electrical system, combined with new software and algorithms, makes ultra-rapid charging possible in all weather conditions.
According to Volvo, this means recharging an electric vehicle is now getting much closer to the time needed to refuel a petrol or diesel car.
“The EX60 is designed to be a game-changer,” said Anders Bell, chief technology officer at Volvo Cars.
“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.”
Volvo will reveal the EX60 in full on 21 January 2026, with a livestream for those eager to get a first look.
Production of the EX60 is set to commence in the first half of 2026. The new model will be manufactured at Volvo’s famed Torslanda facility in Gothenburg, Sweden.
