The EX60 will have an estimated range of 400 miles (or 810km based on the generous WLTP standard in Europe). That's significantly more range than any previous Volvo EV - at least until the 434-mile-range ES90 sedan comes out. And the EX60 will be the first vehicle to benefit from the automaker's new megacasting production process to reduce weight and improve manufacturing efficiency.
Volvo is in a bit of a pickle. The company bet big on a rapid, worldwide transition to electric cars. Yet it's hit three brutal snags. First, EV sales have not grown as exponentially as many automakers planned for. Second, Volvo's own software-defined EVs were heavily delayed and arrived full of bugs and quality issues. Finally, a global trade war has hurt Volvo more than just about any other auto brand: It builds heavily in China, and it builds very little in the U.S.
