Volvo's new EX60 electric SUV is posting 503-mile range figures in pre-launch testing, leveraging lightweight e-motors and efficiency tuning to chase range anxiety out of the room. Thing is, every EV maker says the same thing about their motors, and real-world numbers rarely match EPA estimates. The question isn't whether it can do 500 miles—it's whether anyone actually needs to drive 500 miles without stopping.

The 408 fastback gets a visual realignment with Peugeot's newer design language and a tweaked electric variant that now promises 283 miles of range. It's a competent family sedan doing what family sedans do—nothing wrong with that, just nothing that'll keep you up at night either.

Volvo's electric XC60 successor is incoming with genuine 503-mile range, which means you can actually drive from London to Dundee without treating a charging stop like a pit crew rotation. That's the longest EV range in the UK market right now, though the real question is whether anyone actually cares about specs anymore or just wants their commuter to work.
