After a teaser campaign that included a world exclusive with Ars, Volvo has officially unveiled its next electric vehicle, the EX60. We already knew it would have up to 400 miles of range, according to the US EPA test cycle, and be capable of charging at rates of up to 400 kW. And we learned last week that the EX60 is packed full of powerful computer hardware from Nvidia and Qualcomm, enabling both advanced driver assistance systems and a new AI personal assistant. Today, we got full tech specs for the three different EX60 powertrain variants, as well as a pair of rugged EX60 Cross Country models.

P6, P10, P12

The entry-level version of Volvo's next midsize crossover is the EX60 P6. This is a single-motor variant, with 369 hp (275 kW), 354 lb-ft (480 Nm) on tap at the rear wheels. The 80 kWh (usable, 83 kWH gross) battery pack can charge at up to 320 kW and can take as little as 18 minutes to DC charge from 10 to 80 percent. The EX60 will also be the first Volvo model on sale in the US with a built-in NACS port. Range for the P6 version is 310 miles (490 km) when fitted with 20-inch wheels; subtract 10 miles (16 km) for the 21-inch wheels and 20 miles (32 km) for the 22-inch wheels. 0–60 mph (0–98 km/h) takes 5.7 seconds, and like all modern Volvos, the EX60 is speed-limited to 112 mph (180 km/h).

(Again, all range estimates are based on the US EPA test cycle; if you see different numbers online at non-US publications, those are using Europe's WLTP test.)

Justin Spencer thought his chances of being asked to work in a pit room were behind him. Loading a firebox and seasoning a brisket aren’t usually called for from a business’s head of food and beverage, a position he holds at New Waterloo, a company with five hotels and around a dozen restaurants over five states. Junebug’s Barbecue, at the new Albert Hotel, in Fredericksburg, was a different kind of project—one that has Spencer working as a pitmaster. “I never imagined this would happen unless I left this job and decided to do my own thing,” he says.The design for Albert Hotel kicked off back in 2018. Spencer was touring the property with some executives before construction. An existing stone building known as the Sunday…
