Volvo Previews EX60 EV With 800-Volt System and 400-kW Fast Charging Ahead of Jan. 21 Debut

The midsize SUV targets brief charging stops through a claimed 10–80% refill in 19 minutes.

Overview

  • Volvo has set the global debut for the EX60 on January 21, with production planned in Gothenburg in the first half of 2026 and a target price near the XC60 plug-in hybrid at about $63,000.
  • The EX60 uses Volvo’s first 800-volt architecture and is claimed to add about 168 miles in 10 minutes and charge from 10–80% in 19 minutes on a 400 kW DC fast charger, with an aim to perform well on 250 kW units too.
  • Range reporting varies, with Volvo signaling roughly 400 miles (about 810 km WLTP) while separate outlets cite a higher 503-mile WLTP figure, and official certified range and battery capacity remain unconfirmed.
  • Built on the new SPA3 platform, the SUV adopts megacasting and a structural battery pack to reduce weight and costs while retaining nickel-cobalt-manganese cell chemistry.
  • Volvo will offer a global 10-year/240,000 km battery warranty, and the EX60 includes vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid capability as standard with grid services explored through a partnership with Vattenfall.
