"Volvo has launched two generations of EVs. The first were adapted from gas cars and had relatively small ranges, carryover software and middling specs. The EX30 and EX90 were supposed to fix those issues, but reality was less rosy: Both cars were plagued with problems, and in the China-built EX30's case, it ran into an unfortunate tariff situation that diminished its value proposition in the U.S."
"Not when the competition keeps getting better and better, and when its CEO, Hakan Samuelsson, returned to a second tour of duty at Volvo to deliver an all-electric future.

It's in the heart of the compact/midsize luxury crossover market, going head-to-head with not only the Tesla Model Y but all of the next-gen European competitors listed above."
2026 marks a reset for automakers adapting EV lessons into new models. Volvo launches the EX60 with a claimed 400-mile range and the fastest charging among Volvo models. Earlier Volvo EVs were adapted from gasoline platforms, suffered limited range, carryover software, and quality problems that reduced brand goodwill and value in key markets. The EX60 sits in the compact/midsize luxury crossover segment to compete with Tesla Model Y and next-gen European rivals. Volvo reworked its EV development strategy for the EX60 and built it on a new platform. Company leaders emphasize range, charging speed, and smarter software.
