Volvo has detailed its all-electric EX60, now the brand’s longest-range EV. Built on the new SPA3 architecture, it promises up to 640 km on a charge—more than its nearest competitors and any previous Volvo. The engineering focus is on real-world use, so the switch to electric should feel straightforward rather than experimental.The standout is rapid charging: thanks to an 800-volt system and proprietary software, the EX60 can add up to 270 km in just 10 minutes on a 400 kW station. That pace comes close to a quick fuel stop and points to less time tethered to a cable on long trips.Several choices underpin that efficiency. The battery is integrated into the body’s load-bearing structure in a cell-to-body layout, cutting mass and increasing energy density. The motors are developed entirely in-house. For the first time at Volvo, megacasting replaces hundreds of smaller pieces with large cast sections, trimming weight and boosting structural rigidity.Working with Breathe Battery Technologies, Volvo added algorithms that manage charging in real time, keeping the battery in its ideal temperature window. Together, these decisions signal a clear push toward everyday usability rather than just spec-sheet wins.The EX60 is set to be one of the brand’s most advanced electric models, while upkeep should be simpler thanks to the small number of moving parts. The debut is scheduled for January 21, 2026.
