"Later this month, Volvo will unveil its new EX60 SUV. The Swedish automaker has adopted some of the latest trends in electric vehicle design for the EX60, like a structural battery pack and the use of very large castings. As always with automakers teasing a new car, concrete details are only emerging slowly ahead of the official reveal on January 21, but we can say that range and recharging speeds were a priority during the design process."
"Volvo says that its SUV will be best-in-class for range, which means 400 miles (644 km) from a fully charged battery under the EPA test cycle (although an official EPA range number isn't due yet). Fast charging should also live up to the name. Providing you plug into a 400 kW DC fast charger, the EX60 should add 168 miles (270 km) of range in 10 minutes, although we don't know how long it requires to fast charge from 10-80 percent."
Volvo will unveil the EX60 SUV on January 21. The EX60 adopts a structural battery pack and very large castings. Range and recharging speed were priorities in the design process. Volvo positions the EX60 as best-in-class for range with a target of 400 miles (644 km) under the EPA cycle. The SUV aims to use 400 kW DC fast charging to add 168 miles (270 km) in 10 minutes. Official EPA figures and 10–80 percent fast-charge timing have not been published. The new electric vehicle architecture is intended to reduce customer concerns about range and charging.
