Quick verdict

Both cars peak at 250 kW DC charging. The Tesla Model Y is more efficient at 165 Wh/km. The Tesla Model Y offers more WLTP rated range at 586 km.

Side-by-Side Specs

Spec Tesla Model Y Volvo EX60
Battery (approx.) ~75 kWh ~91 kWh
WLTP range (rated) ~586 km ~580 km
Efficiency (approx.) ~165 Wh/km ~182 Wh/km
Max DC charging up to 250 kW up to 250 kW
10-80% charge time (approx.) ~27 min ~28 min
Max AC charging up to 11 kW up to 11 kW
DC connector CCS2 CCS2

Charging Speed

The Volvo EX60 has a peak DC charging speed of 250 kW, which is comparable to the Tesla Model Y at 250 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Tesla Model Y finishes in about 27 minutes, which is 1 minutes quicker than the Volvo EX60 at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Tesla Model Y has a WLTP rated range of approximately 586 km, which is roughly 6 km more than the Volvo EX60 at approximately 580 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Tesla Model Y consumes 165 Wh/km, compared to 182 Wh/km for the Volvo EX60. That means the Tesla Model Y uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Tesla Model Y has approximately 75 kWh of useable battery , while the Volvo EX60 has approximately 91 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars offer similar DC fast charging at 250 kW peak. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Tesla Model Y is the more efficient choice at 165 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Tesla Model Y has a WLTP rated range of approximately 586 km, which is roughly 6 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
