Volvo's latest electric vehicle, the EX60 crossover, boasts an impressive range of up to 400 miles according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This far surpasses other Volvos and most other electric vehicles on the market.
The company's focus on addressing the main worry that has held potential customers back from making the switch to fully electric cars - range anxiety. Volvo's advanced SPA3 EV architecture integrates the battery directly into the car's structure, with cell-to-body technology, which significantly improves endurance.
To further enhance performance and efficiency, Volvo developed its own e-motors in-house. This not only boosts manufacturing efficiency but also reduces weight, which is crucial for a vehicle that promises to offer such impressive range.
The EX60 can be recharged quickly using an 800-volt electrical system that supports up to 400kW fast charging. This means drivers can add around 168 miles of range in just 10 minutes, or even over 100 miles in just a few minutes thanks to the aid of new lighter materials and lower heat generation.
The megacasting process used in the EX60 is another notable feature that will appeal to fans of innovative manufacturing techniques. By replacing hundreds of smaller parts with a single, high-precision casting, Volvo has significantly reduced weight while boosting manufacturing efficiency.
