Here's Volvo's new EX60 $60,000 electric midsize SUV
"Next up is the P10 AWD. This uses an electric motor for each axle, with a combined 503 hp (375 kW) and 524 lb-ft (710 Nm). The 0-60 time drops to 4.4 seconds, and thanks to a larger battery (91 kWh net/95 kWh gross), there's a bit more range: 320 miles on the 20-inch wheels, with the same 10-mile range hit for each inch you increase them. Peak DC charging rates are higher for this battery, though-up to 370 kW, but again with 18-minute 10-80 charge times under ideal conditions."
"Then there's the P12 AWD, which ups the ante to 670 hp (500 kW) and 583 lb-ft (790 Nm). The dash to 60 mph drops to 3.8 seconds, and the battery gets a little larger at 112 kWh usable (117 kWh gross). Peak charging rates are still 370 kW, but 10-80 percent takes slightly longer at 19 minutes as a result of the greater capacity. Range for this version is 400 miles (644 km) for 20-inch wheels, 390 miles (627 km) for 21-inch wheels, and 375 miles (603 km) for 22-inch wheels."
""The new, all-electric EX60 changes the game in terms of range, charging, and price and represents a new beginning for Volvo Cars and our customers," said Volvo Cars CEO Håkan Samuelsson. "With this car, we remove all remaining obstacles for going electric. This fantastic new car is also a testament of what we are capable of at Volvo Cars, with an all-new product architecture introducing new key technologies-mega casting, cell-to-body, and core computing.""
The P10 AWD uses dual motors to produce 503 hp and 524 lb-ft, achieves 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and uses a 91 kWh net (95 kWh gross) battery for about 320 miles on 20-inch wheels, with a 10-mile penalty per larger inch. Peak DC charging reaches up to 370 kW with approximately 18-minute 10–80 percent times under ideal conditions. The P12 AWD increases output to 670 hp and 583 lb-ft, hits 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds, and uses a 112 kWh usable (117 kWh gross) battery for up to 400 miles, with 10–80 percent charging around 19 minutes. The EX60 introduces mega casting, cell-to-body battery integration, and core computing, while the Cross Country variant adds a 20 mm lift (plus optional air-spring lift), wider track, wheel-arch cladding, and underbody skid plates for light off-road capability.
