"Volvo's EX60, with fast-charging capabilities and a brand-new electric architecture, made its official debut today, with the Swedish automaker positioning the crossover EV as a new direction for its battery-powered lineup. With up to 400 miles of estimated range and an 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast charging, the EX60 feels like a concerted effort by Volvo to address some of the most common pain points of EV ownership."
"At first glance, the EX60 looks a little familiar, with an exterior design reminiscent of Volvo's other EVs and hybrids, like the EX90 and XC70. But the new crossover SUV is built on a totally new platform, Volvo's SPA3 (Scalable Product Architecture 3), which comes with a raft of new capabilities and features that have been absent from the company's lineup."
The EX60 is a crossover SUV that combines up to 400 miles of estimated range with an 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast charging. The vehicle sits on Volvo's new SPA3 (Scalable Product Architecture 3), enabling modular hardware and software improvements and introducing structural battery pack integration where high-voltage cells form part of the chassis. The EX60 uses a megacasting production process to reduce weight and improve manufacturing efficiency. The design echoes existing Volvo EVs and hybrids but brings new capabilities aimed at addressing common EV ownership pain points while reshaping supply chain and production to improve profitability for the EV lineup.
