Introduction of the Volvo EX60: Who needs door handles?

The new Volvo EX60 offers ultra-fast charging and a range of up to 800 kilometers, marking a significant step in Volvo's shift towards electric vehicles.

Volvo has unveiled its latest electric model, the EX60, which promises features such as ultra-fast charging with 800-volt technology and an impressive range of up to 800 kilometers. Notably, the design eliminates traditional door handles, signaling a modern approach to vehicle aesthetics and functionality. While Volvo initially announced a complete departure from combustion engines, CEO Hakan Samuelsson acknowledged at the launch in Stockholm that they will continue producing petrol engines as long as consumer demand persists. However, the focus is clearly shifting toward all-electric vehicles, particularly with the EX60 positioned to compete against premium brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. This launch not only highlights Volvo's commitment to innovation in electric mobility but also reflects broader industry trends where established manufacturers must adapt to changing consumer preferences and sustainability goals.
