Volvo’s first EV with Gemini AI integration and a 28-speaker audio system is here

Blending long all-electric range, rapid charging, next-gen AI, and premium audio in a family-friendly mid-size SUV, the EX60 showcases Volvo's long-term all-electric vision.

Volvo has announced its latest, all-electric mid-size SUV — the EX60 — as a “game-changer” step in its electric lineup. The EV offers excellent range, fast charging, Google Gemini AI integration, and a premium audio experience that rivals models like the Tesla Model Y and the BMW iX3.

The EX60 sits between the smaller EX40 and the larger three-row EX90 in the automaker’s global lineup, effectively replacing the ICE-powered XC60 as a fully-electric, family-friendly SUV.

Volvo’s most important electric SUV yet

Built on the company’s new SPA3 800-volt electric architecture, the EX60 uses advanced manufacturing techniques (mega casting and cell-to-body battery integration) to reduce weight and boost efficiency.

The EX60 is available in three trim levels: P6 (rear-wheel-drive), P10 (all-wheel-drive with two motors), and P12 (all-wheel-drive with two motors). Out of these, the EX60 P12 features a 117 kWh battery pack that offers up to 400 miles of EPA range (or up to 502 miles of WLTP range).

It’s also the most powerful trim in the lineup, delivering up to 670 hp (500 kW) and 583 lb-ft of torque, which lets it accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. While the P10 gets a 95 kWh battery pack that offers up to 320 miles, the 6 gets an 83 kWh battery pack and promises up to 310 miles.

What’s great is that all the trims get support for 400 kW super-fast charging, enough to charge the battery from 10 to 80% in up to 19 minutes. For reference, the charging speed is enough to get up to 173 miles of cruising range in 10 minutes (to a 400 kW charger).

Inside, the EX60 is the first Volvo to feature Google’s Gemini AI voice assistant, integrated into the infotainment system for natural, conversational control of navigation, media, and other vehicle features. Otherwise, the car features a Scandinavian-inspired interior design focused on comfort.

Another major highlight of the new electric SUV is the 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system. Apart from offering exceptional sound, the car comes with Apple Music pre-installed and Dolby Atmos support. Additional features include the Volvo crash protection powered by the HuginCore engine and a 10-year warranty on the battery.

While Volvo plans to start producing the EX60 P6 and P10 in Sweden by late spring, U.S. buyers should expect deliveries by summer.

The top-specced P12 trim will arrive later. Although the automaker hasn’t confirmed pricing, the mid-specced P10 trim could cost around $60,000, making it very competitive in the tech-rich mid-size electric SUV segment. The higher P12 trim could get a slightly premium price tag.

Xpeng L03

Xpeng’s latest electric vehicle carries enough processing power to make the term "smart car" actually sound more realistic than it actually is. The new Xpeng L03 debuted simultaneously in Europe and China on July 16, with the company presenting it across 65 markets. Available as a fully electric vehicle and an L03 Power X range-extender, the coupe-SUV is Xpeng’s most internationally focused model so far. Market-specific prices and sales dates remain unannounced.

A new sodium battery posts wild four-minute charging numbers, but don’t expect it in an EV yet
The breakthrough could improve fast charging and battery life, but the study hasn’t demonstrated those results in a production-sized pack
EV Charger

A new sodium-metal battery has posted a charging number that makes today’s EVs look painfully slow. In laboratory testing, the cell operated at a 15C rate, equivalent to completing a charge or discharge in roughly four minutes.

That doesn’t mean researchers plugged in an electric car and watched it fill up before the driver finished buying coffee. The result came from a small experimental cell using a new quasi-solid electrolyte, while the larger pouch-cell prototype delivered far less dramatic performance.

The Apple Car may be dead, but it became the foundation of Apple Intelligence
A decade of work on a canceled car project reportedly laid the groundwork for Apple Intelligence.
Apple Intelligence in Apple Car

The Apple Car may have never left the garage, but it apparently gave birth to Apple's AI ambitions. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's canceled autonomous vehicle project, one that consumed more than a decade of work and over $10 billion before being scrapped in 2024, ended up laying the technological foundation for Apple Intelligence. In a rather ironic twist, one of Apple's most expensive failures may also become one of its most important long-term investments.
