What happened
Volvo plans to unveil the EX60 SUV later this month, with an official reveal on January 21. Volvo says the EX60 will deliver 400 miles (644 km) of range on the EPA test cycle, though an official EPA range number is not due yet. Volvo says the EX60 can add 168 miles (270 km) of range in 10 minutes when connected to a 400 kW DC fast charger, and the 10–80 percent fast-charge time is not provided. Volvo says the EX60 uses a cell-to-body structural battery pack, in-house designed motors, and “mega castings,” including a single-casting rear floor, to save weight and improve efficiency.
