From AI to extended electric range: the evolution of the suv

Volvo EX60 redefines electric mobility for the Swedish brand. Not the usual announcement written by the marketing division but a long list of innovations brought to debut by the medium electric suv and ready to be implemented on future models of the Swedish brand but also on those already in production thanks to Over the Air updates.

Volvo EX60 Autonomy

How does it become the electric Volvo with the longest range? Thanks to a combination of technologies, construction techniques and above all a manufacturing approach that is completely different from that of an endothermic car. Because the Volvo EX60 manages to exceed a range of 800 kilometres, thanks to a lightweight body constructed using the Megacasting technique, i.e. a single large aluminium casting that combines a long list of components in a single mould, an 800 Volt grid, a 117 kWh cell-to-body battery integrated into the chassis and a hardware and software structure capable of making it a true ultimate car.

Volvo EX60 charging times

If the available range can say goodbye to all anxiety, the announced charging times promise a total paradigm shift for an electric Volvo. Because thanks to the 800 volt grid, they can be recharged at 22 kW AC and up to 370 kW AC on the P12. Power that translates into just 19 minutes to a range of 340 kilometres. Fuel consumption is also low, with an average of 15 kWh/100 km. All this is made possible by making the most of the on-board technology, capable of arriving at the pillar with the battery at the correct temperature.
