Volvo Car USA (VOLCAR B: STO. ADR OTC VLVCY) said today it has received Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification for the all-new 2027 Volvo EX60 P10 AWD with an estimated driving range of up to 330 miles on a single charge [based on the battery being preconditioned before charging – AutoCrat], exceeding earlier estimates by the company.*
“After its debut earlier this year and the opening of U.S. order books in May, the EX60 positions Volvo Cars in the mid-size electric SUV segment, the largest and fastest-growing category in the electric vehicle market. The game-changing SUV offers impressive range, fast charging, and exceptional performance – all at a competitive price,” Volvo Car claimed.
“The EX60 P10 AWD delivers the longest electric driving range of any Volvo car sold in the U.S. market to date, transforming range anxiety into a sense of freedom.
- “The EX60 is the first vehicle built on Volvo Cars’ new SPA3 architecture, which features an 800-volt electrical system that enables the EX60 to charge quickly. For the P10 AWD variant, drivers can add up to 165 miles** of range in just 10 minutes, about the amount of time it takes to grab a coffee.
- “As the first Volvo car equipped with a native North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, the EX60 provides customers with seamless, adapter-free access to more than 29,000 Tesla Supercharger stations across the United States and Canada,” Volvo Car said.
