Volvo EVs: General Charging & Range Details
Before we dive into the details on the new Volvo electric SUV options, let's talk about what an EV is. These models aren't just great ways to drive without gas; they're also loaded with the latest, most innovative technologies, AI computing software, and premium comforts.
With a simple Level 2 installation at home, your new electric Volvo SUV will easily charge overnight. When you're on a longer trip, you can quickly recharge at a public EV fast-charging station. And since they rely solely on battery power, the only time you'll need to stop at a gas station is for snacks on the next road trip.
EVs can travel hundreds of miles on a charge. More than that, they are revolutionizing what driving is like: With nearly instantaneous torque at your command, these machines are quick and powerful, making simple errands and longer treks thrilling in a way that wouldn't have seemed possible just a few years ago.
Volvo EV SUV Options
VolvoEX30
The new Volvo EX30 is the smallest of the new Volvo electric SUV options. And this year's release marks your last chance to bring it home, as it's being retired after the 2026 model year.
Until then, this compact SUV is ready to electrify your work commute – and at an appealing $40,345 starting MSRP.1 This five-seater is available with two powertrain options: Single Motor Extended Range and Twin Motor Performance. Each brings its own unique specifications, though the two share a 2,000-pound towing capacity.2 You can see specifics about Volvo EX30 engineering in our visual below.
With a 261-mile maximum range available,3 this nimble vehicle can handle a week's worth of commuting without needing a recharge – especially if you're going into the city. In fact, this model's 166.7-inch length and 72.4-inch width make easy work of parking garages and streetside spots.
VolvoEX40
The Volvo EX40 is slightly bigger than the Volvo EX30, so its five-passenger cabin provides more room to stretch out.
However, the VolvoEX40 is capable of driving farther – up to 296 miles3 – and it's not too much longer than the VolvoEX30. It measures 174.8 inches long and 75.2 inches wide. This SUV is also capable of towing up to 2,000 pounds.2
Unlike many of the Volvo electric SUV options you may find, the VolvoEX40 is available in a single trim: Plus. That means you'll always get the most luxe features, such as:
- Panoramic roof
- 360-Degree Camera
- Air purifier
- Power driver's seat
- Two-zone climate system
- Sculpted gear selector
VolvoEX60
The Volvo EX60 is the newest Volvo EV release and joins the lineup for the 2027 model year. It's comparable to the Volvo XC60 or Volvo XC60 plug-in hybrid, a pair of midsize SUVs that have been major bestsellers in the Volvo Cars lineup.
With this model, you'll still get five-seater passenger capacity, two rows, and rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. However, you're going to be at the helm of a machine that makes much more power and tows more: either the P6 powertrain's 369 horsepower or the 503 horsepower at the reins of the P10 AWD. The former gives you a 3,600-pound towing capacity,2 while the P10 AWD boasts up to 4,500 pounds of towing.2
In addition to a new level of power, the model charges from 10% to 80% faster – just 16 minutes at a DC fast-charging station.4 And you'll get more utility with a longer range – up to 330 miles3 on select models.
The interior retains that uncluttered Scandinavian aesthetic, and part of what keeps it that way is its high-tech, premium appointments. The 15-inch touchscreen connects wirelessly to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which means no tangled cables. The same goes for the standard wireless charging pad. And there's a premium Bose® sound system with 21 speakers for crisp, immersive audio – or a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins® audio system in the Ultra trim that takes sound to a new level.
Volvo EX90
If you're searching for electrification on a three-row SUV that accommodates up to seven passengers, the Volvo EX90 is your family's ideal companion.
This model has many of its two-row siblings' treasures, down to its standard Bose® audio system, wireless phone charging, and wireless Apple CarPlay®. However, it's a little more upscale, making it ideal for longer adventures that require more comfort for the whole family. It also boasts up to 670 horsepower with the available Twin Motor Performance powertrain.
In fact, this model makes driving easier with a standard Head-Up Display, which casts information directly against the windshield so you don't have to look away to get pertinent driving data. And with a standard 360-Degree Camera with 3D View, Run-Off Road Mitigation, and powerful AI-based computing power, it can help detect and prevent collisions.
