Volvo is starting to trickle out some details about its upcoming midsize electric SUV, the EX60, before its official debut January 21st. The EX60 will have an estimated range of 400 miles (or 810km based on the generous WLTP standard in Europe). That’s significantly more range than any previous Volvo EV — at least until the 434-mile-range ES90 sedan comes out. And the EX60 will be the first vehicle to benefit from the automaker’s new megacasting production process to reduce weight and improve manufacturing efficiency.
“One of the things that we wanted to do was to create an electric vehicle with no compromises,” Akhil Krishnan, head of program management for the EX60, told me. “It shouldn’t be a compromise for you to choose to drive electric, so that was very, very important for us.”
To that end, improving the vehicle’s range and charging time were chief among the goals of Krishnan and his team. They wanted to transform “range anxiety” into “range comfort,” meaning the driver would have so much range that it no longer becomes a hinderance — similar to how consumers don’t choose gasoline cars based on tank size.

But range alone is not enough; charging speed was also critical. Krishnan said that Volvo conducted extensive customer research and found that many EV owners felt forced to plan their lives around charging stops, often waiting 40 minutes or more. Volvo wanted the EX60 to fit into natural human breaks instead. For instance, if a driver stops for 10 minutes to get coffee or use the restroom, the car should be ready to go again within that time.
The EX60 should meet that standard thanks to its 800-volt architecture, a first for Volvo. Other automakers, like Hyundai and Kia, have stood out amid cooling demand for EVs thanks to their fast-charging, 800-volt-architecture vehicles, and now Volvo wants to do the same. The EX60 can charge from 10–80 percent in 19 minutes, or add 168 miles of range in just 10 minutes, when using a 400kW fast charger.
But range alone is not enough; charging speed was also critical
Of course, finding a charger that can produce such speeds could be a problem, especially here in the US — but it’s certainly getting better. Krishnan said that Volvo’s aim is to deliver excellent charging performance not only on 400kW chargers but also on more common 250kW units.
The vehicle is built on Volvo’s new SPA3 platform, designed exclusively for electric vehicles, without any legacy constraints from combustion engines. The EX60 isn’t relying on any battery breakthroughs to achieve its improved range — the nickel-cobalt-manganese chemistry is the same as the rest of the EV lineup — but rather advancements in manufacturing, like megacasting and the use of a structural battery pack, to reduce weight and improve the vehicle’s integrity. It will also include battery preconditioning so the battery is at the right temperature for optimal charging to help sustain those higher speeds.
Megacasting is about forming a single piece of the vehicle’s frame instead of welding together multiple pieces. Image: Volvo
The new platform enables not just weight savings but also cost reductions, with estimated component-level savings of 20–35 percent, helping keep pricing competitive with gas and hybrid equivalents, Krishnan said. Volvo has said it intends to price the EX60 at around the same as the XC60 plug-in hybrid, which right now starts at around $63,000.
Volvo is also offering for the first time a global 10-year battery warranty covering up to 240,000km. This extends the company’s previous eight-year coverage and, according to Krishnan, reflects confidence in its in-house battery development and manufacturing capabilities.
The EX60 will have other tricks up its sleeve, too, including vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid functionality as standard across all markets and trims. Volvo has already announced a partnership with Swedish energy provider Vattenfall to explore how the EX60 and other Volvo EVs can help stabilize and balance the grid.
Krishnan sees the EX60 as a critical piece that was missing from Volvo’s EV strategy: a family SUV that’s more affordable than the automaker’s three-row, $80,000-plus EX90. “So it’s a very big addressable market for the car,” he said.
The EX60 will be built in Volvo’s Gothenburg factory, with production set to begin in the first half of 2026.

Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams Details Receiving Messages From Closeted Pro Athletes After Show’s Release
Hudson Williams has been scoring some meaningful private messages.
In fact, the Heated Rivalry actor, who plays closeted gay hockey star Shane Hollander opposite Connor Storie (Ilya Rozanov) on the Crave/HBO Max show, revealed that he has received multiple DMs from closeted LGBTQ+ athletes who appreciate the show.
“The people who reach out, somewhat anonymously, who are like, ‘I’m a professional player still, and I’m still in the closet,’” Hudson said in a Jan. 7 clip from his appearance on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show Radio Andy. “They’re [also] reaching out to Rachel [Reid], our author, who will then kind of relay these lovely anonymous emails.”
The 24-year-old added of the hockey, football and basketball players he’s heard from, “Sometimes they’re just reaching out privately through Instagram, and those ones are the ones that really just kind of hit you and go, ‘Oh, so this is a fun show, and it’s celebratory, but also sometimes it’s just hitting people right in the nerve.’”
But gratitude isn’t the only emotion Hudson has felt in the six weeks since the show premiered for U.S. audiences on HBO Max. Indeed, he’s fully aware that his viral popularity is “crazy.”

After the Jacksonville Jaguars clinched the AFC South division, Trevor Lawrence received a gift that left his teeth gleaming.
Lawrence received a grill after the Jaguars’ 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The gift was inspired by a viral AI photo of the Jaguars quarterback wearing a grill in his mouth along with an iced-out Jaguars chain.
But one question loomed: How were his teeth measurements correct if the gift was a surprise?
Former running back Darien Rencher, a teammate of Lawrence’s at Clemson, coordinated the surprise with Trevor’s wife, Marissa; Trevor’s mother; and the Jaguars’ social team.
According to Rencher, after the AI photo went viral, he wanted to find a way to give Lawrence custom mouth jewelry as long as the QB stayed healthy, kept performing well and led the Jaguars to a winning season.
If one of the three didn’t happen, they’d hold off on the surprise. But Lawrence finished the regular season with 4,007 passing yards and 29 touchdowns, helping the Jaguars to a 13-4 record.
Rencher found a Jacksonville-based jeweler, Teezie Tha Gawd, to make the grill.
Normally, grills require a jeweler to take a mold of the customer’s teeth on location to create the custom jewelry. Instead, the jeweler requested a 3-D scan of Lawrence’s teeth to make the grill.
Rencher reached out to Marissa and then Lawrence’s mother, who connected Rencher with Trevor’s dentist in Cartersville, Georgia, who agreed to overnight the quarterback’s 3-D scans to the jeweler.
On Sunday, Lawrence threw 255 passing yards for three touchdowns to help clinch the division title. Rencher worked with the Jaguars’ social media team to deliver the grill to the locker room, allowing cornerback Jarrian Jones the honor of presenting the gift to Lawrence.
In his postgame news conference, Lawrence made a guess as to how the grill fit so perfectly.
“I think somehow my wife might’ve been involved in that, getting my teeth measurements or something because it fit,” Lawrence told reporters.
The third-seeded Jaguars will host the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round of the playoffs on Jan. 11 at EverBank Stadium.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — In 2008, midway through the Baltimore Ravens‘ news conference introducing John Harbaugh as their head coach, a reporter referred to the fact that owner Steve Bisciotti said he was searching for the next Pro Football Hall of Fame coach.
“By the way, did you know I said that?” Bisciotti said with a laugh, patting Harbaugh on the back.
Without hesitation, Harbaugh casually responded: “Yeah, I read that somewhere.”
Now, 18 seasons later, the Ravens are looking for a new head coach after Harbaugh put together a Hall of Fame career in Baltimore. Harbaugh was fired Tuesday after guiding the Ravens to a Super Bowl title in 2012, six AFC North titles and 193 victories, including 13 in the postseason.
The dismissal of Harbaugh, 63, came two days after Baltimore lost 26-24 at the Pittsburgh Steelers, which eliminated the Ravens from playoff contention for the first time since 2021. Baltimore (8-9) also finished with a losing record for the third time under Harbaugh, who is the franchise’s winningest coach.
“Following a comprehensive evaluation of the season and the overall direction of our organization, I decided to make a change at head coach,” Bisciotti said in a statement. “This was an incredibly difficult decision.”
The Ravens are moving in a different direction at a time when Harbaugh didn’t achieve as much postseason success as he had earlier in his career. During his eight seasons with two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson at quarterback, Harbaugh won three playoff games and never advanced past the AFC Championship Game. The Ravens became the first preseason Super Bowl favorite to not make the playoffs, according to ESPN Research.
“Well, I was hoping for a different kind of message on my last day here, someday, but that day has come today,” Harbaugh said in a statement. “It comes with disappointment certainly, but more with gratitude and appreciation.”
The Ravens now begin their first head coaching search since 2008.
Ravens reporter Jamison Hensley, national NFL reporter Dan Graziano and NFL analyst Ben Solak answer all the pressing questions in the wake of Harbaugh’s firing.
Why would the Ravens make this move? What other moves could be on the horizon?
The Ravens don’t make knee-jerk decisions, and Bisciotti loves stability, which is evident by the fact they have had three head coaches in their 30-year history (Brian Billick and Ted Marchibroda are the others). There was a feeling by some within the organization that Harbaugh had run his course with Jackson and this core group of players. After guiding the Ravens to the AFC Championship Game three times in his first five seasons, he led Baltimore to the AFC title game only once in the past 13 seasons.
There was also growing discontent among Ravens fans. In a season in which Baltimore recorded its worst home record in team history at 3-6, there were more empty seats at M&T Bank Stadium than ever before. Harbaugh was also booed coming off the field after the Ravens surrendered 44 points, the most given up at home during his tenure, in a blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Oct. 5. A new coach could reinvigorate the team’s season-ticket holders as well as Jackson.
Though members of the coaching staff didn’t know their future at the time of Harbaugh’s firing, the expectation is the Ravens will have a complete makeover, especially on offense. As one source close to Harbaugh said, “It’s time for a reset.” — Hensley
How much of a shock is this to the locker room?
One player summed it up as “surprised but not shocked.” After the season-ending loss in Pittsburgh, Jackson was asked whether he wanted Harbaugh to remain as coach. Jackson declined to talk about anything regarding the future, saying, “I’m stunned right now, and I’m still trying to process what’s going on.”
Inside the locker room in Pittsburgh, two other team leaders — running back Derrick Henry and offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley — also declined to give a resounding vote of confidence to Harbaugh. Both expressed their love for Harbaugh but said they don’t make that decision.
The players continued to fight under Harbaugh even toward the end of an underachieving season, and the 41-24 win in Green Bay on Dec. 27 was a sign the team hadn’t quit on the coach. But, while cleaning out their lockers Monday, a few players mentioned that this team underperformed. — Hensley
Was Harbaugh ready to move on? Was this a mutual decision?
The Ravens made it clear that it was their decision when Bisciotti said in a statement that he “decided to make a change at head coach.” But Harbaugh agreed with the decision, according to the source close to the coach.
“John is at peace with the decision,” the source said. “He believes this is best for all parties.”
Toward the end of the season, Harbaugh’s tone suggested he was “at peace” whenever he was asked about his job security. In late December, Harbaugh said, “I try to do the job, not try to keep the job.”
It was a decade ago when Harbaugh mentioned he wanted to become Baltimore’s Chuck Noll. Harbaugh came close to reaching Noll’s 23 years in Pittsburgh (1969-91), but a source said Harbaugh could now find inspiration from his close friend Andy Reid. After 14 strong seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, Reid enjoyed more success in 13 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. Can Harbaugh’s second chapter match Reid’s? — Hensley
What will this mean for Jackson and his future in Baltimore?
This is ultimately the biggest question for Jackson and the Ravens. A team source pointed out that it wasn’t a coincidence that the dismissal of Harbaugh came at a time when Baltimore needs to get a new contract completed with Jackson, whose salary cap figure jumps to $74.5 million this offseason. A new coach might make it easier to get a new long-term deal done with Jackson.
Jackson’s lack of participation in voluntary spring workouts and his new routine of sitting out one practice per week this season became a point of friction between Jackson and the coaching staff, the team source said. A new coaching staff might be able to reconnect with Jackson.
Jackson won the NFL MVP award in his first seasons with a new offensive coordinator (2019 with Greg Roman and 2023 with Todd Monken). Could a new head coach take Jackson to new heights? — Hensley
Who could the Ravens possibly want to replace Harbaugh?
That’s the critical question. I also wonder who’s going to want to succeed Harbaugh in Baltimore. But I have to believe ownership has someone in mind or it wouldn’t have done this. I would look for either an offense-minded coach who has experience with mobile quarterbacks or someone with head coaching experience. Kliff Kingsbury, who was let go Tuesday as the Washington Commanders‘ offensive coordinator, checks both boxes. Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores — who could be an overall tone-setter in the same way Harbaugh was — have held NFL head coaching jobs and could theoretically fit.
If the Ravens want a first-time head coach, which Harbaugh was when they hired him long ago, maybe they’ll look at Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. He has ties to former Ravens defensive coordinator and current Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald from their time together at Michigan. That’s a speculative and partial list. I’d expect a lot of people to be interested in this job. — Graziano
How attractive is this job to candidates?
The Ravens don’t just have a franchise quarterback — they have a two-time MVP entering his age-29 season signed through 2028. Purely on the strength of the quarterback position, this is one of the best jobs to open up in recent history, perhaps edged only by the Chargers job that Harbaugh’s brother, Jim, took just two seasons ago to coach Justin Herbert. Baltimore needs more talent at a few spots, such as pass rusher and offensive line, but it’s far easier to solve those problems than it is to solve the quarterback issue. This is, without question, the best job on the market. — Solak
Harbaugh is going to get another head coaching job immediately, right?
If he wants one, yes. The six other teams with head coach openings had been surveying a field of candidates that most people around the league seem to think isn’t as promising as it has been in years past, and Harbaugh’s résumé is vastly superior to that of anyone else available. I’d expect all six of those teams to call him if they haven’t already, and I wonder about some other places where the head coach has been on shaky ground but hasn’t been let go. Could this news prompt them to change their minds and pursue Harbaugh? A quake just went off in the middle of the hiring cycle, and the aftereffects will take a while to sort out. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Harbaugh’s agent, Bryan Harlan, received calls from seven different teams within 45 minutes of Harbaugh being let go Tuesday.
But yes, assuming he wants to keep coaching, I expect Harbaugh to have an opportunity to do so, the same way his mentor, Reid, did when the Eagles fired him years ago and the Chiefs snatched him up immediately. — Graziano
Color-changing lights are a lot of fun, but it can be hard to figure out how to best use them in your home. Most smart lighting companies offer pre-designed scenes to help you light your space, but the lights don’t know where they are physically in your home, and the effect can get diluted. Philips Hue has a solution to this problem: SpatialAware.
SpatialAware knows your room’s layout and the placement of your Hue lights, so it can determine the best way to distribute the scene’s colors and effects across them.
1/4Some of the newly remastered Hue lighting scenes designed to work with SpatialAware.
It gets the data when you scan your space with your smartphone in the Hue app. Using your phone’s AR capabilities, the system can create a 3D model of the placement of Hue lights in your room.
That’s then stored as a map in the Hue app, and when you apply one of Hue’s newly remastered scenes, it will distribute the light intelligently based on where bulbs and fixtures are.
So, for a sunset scene, for example, the lamps on one side of the room will show warm yellow tones to mimic the setting sun, while the ceiling lights on the opposite side will have darker tones and colors.
The company has reworked about half of its scenes to be compatible with the new technology, coding each to adapt to the new data on the lights’ placement.
I saw a demo of SpatialAware in a hotel suite at CES this week, and it made me realise I’ve been using smart lighting wrong all along.
Held in a dining room filled with Hue ambient lighting products and Hue bulbs in overhead can lighting, the demo showed the original scene, then the remastered scene.
As you can see in the video above, the lighting is distributed in a more polished and integrated way in the remastered version. “That’s because it’s actually being done the way the lighting designer intended,” says George Yianni, CTO and founder of Philips Hue.
The most noticeable difference is that the colors are more evenly distributed. For example, all the ceiling lights in the remastered Savannah sunset scene are a soft orange glow, whereas in the original, a couple are orange and a couple soft white, which creates an awkward look.
In the Nightlight scene, the original version has the ceiling lights on, but the remastered one turns them all off, “because you don’t want ceiling lights on in a night light scene,” says Yianni.
The new feature is coming in Spring 2026 and is compatible with Hue lighting connected to the Hue Bridge Pro.

Glen Powell is a top gun when it comes to maintaining friendships.
Indeed, the Chad Powers actor rang in the new year not only with his rumored girlfriendMichelle Randolph, but also his ex Nina Dobrev.
In a video recap of their trip to St. Barts shared to Nina’s Instagram Jan. 6, the Vampire Diaries alum—who briefly dated the Set It Up star in 2017—was all smiles as she leaned in to pose with Glen and Michelle, who sparked dating rumors in November.
Other clips showed the trio dancing, playing pickleball, working out and swimming with their fellow vacationers, including Miles Teller and his wife Keleigh Teller, Glee alum Chord Overstreet and influencer Alix Earle, who was also seen getting close with Tom Brady during the trip.
And according to Nina—who broke off her engagement with Shaun White in September—their trip to the Caribbean island “did not disappoint.”
“Some old friends, some new friends… now all best friends,” she captioned a Jan. 3 Instagram post, which included more pics from the vacation. “Haven’t laughed, been in awe or smiled this much in my life. The perfect way to ring in the new year.”

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said former Spartans star Paul Davis deserved his ejection from the stands during Monday night’s game against USC.
Michigan State led USC by 21 points with just over six minutes remaining when Davis — a key member of the Spartans’ 2005 Final Four team — exchanged words with referee Jeffrey Anderson, who stopped the game to talk to Izzo.
After a brief exchange with Anderson, Izzo looked across the court at Davis, threw his arms in the air and yelled, “What the f— are you doing? What are you doing?”
“You know I love Paul Davis. He’s one of my favorite guys,” Izzo said after the 12th-ranked Spartans’ 80-51 victory. “He’s always calling and doing things.
“But what he said — he should never say anywhere in the world. That ticked me off. Just because it’s 25, 20 years later, I’m going to have to call him tomorrow and tell him what I thought of it. And you know what he’ll say? ‘I screwed up, Coach. Sorry.'”
Izzo clarified that Davis’ comment “wasn’t something racial, it wasn’t something sexual,” but emphasized that “it was just the wrong thing to say, and I’ll leave it at that.”
The unusual incident interrupted a historic night for Izzo, who recorded his 750th career victory to move to eighth among active Division I coaches.
Davis, who is 10th in school history with 1,718 career points, averaged 13.2 points and 7.0 rebounds per game during his four-year career at Michigan State from 2002 through 2006. The former McDonald’s All American finished with 14 points and 15 rebounds in Michigan State’s 87-71 loss to eventual champion North Carolina in the 2005 Final Four.
Davis was seated a few rows behind the sideline opposite the Michigan State bench Monday before being ejected by Anderson. Davis stood up as Michigan State associate athletic director Seth Kesler escorted him from his seat.
“He kind of got after the official and he was 150% wrong,” Izzo said. “And for a guy like me to 150% agree with the official, it’s almost illegal. So I feel bad because [Davis] did that because he’s been a guy that comes back a lot and we’ve got to keep him coming back. He made a mistake.”
It was a bizarre moment that overshadowed another strong outing for a Michigan State team that’s off to a 13-2 start and ranked second nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency on KenPom. Coen Carr led all scorers with 18 points and Jeremy Fears Jr. finished with seven assists.
Izzo reiterated that Davis remains a valuable member of Michigan State’s program.
“I’m going to tell him he was wrong like I would my son, like I would my daughter, like I would my player,” Izzo said. “But I need Paul Davis here.”
Samsung Display showcased a new foldable OLED panel at CES that doesn’t have a visible crease — something that currently blights every foldable phone on the market. This could be our first look at the panel used in the next generation of Samsung’s Galaxy foldables and even the folding iPhone, given that Samsung Display is a long-time provider for Apple.
The display unit was missing from Samsung Display’s CES showcase when The Verge team visited yesterday, but was initially set up beside a Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable to provide a side-by-side comparison. SamMobile saw the demo before it was removed, and reports that the new panel “has no visible crease at all” compared to the crease on the Z Fold 7.
“The foldable panel showcased at the booth was an R&D concept, with no fixed timeline or plan for commercialization,” Rosie Kim, an Omnicom PR spokesperson for Samsung Display, told The Verge. Samsung Display did not explain why the concept panel had been removed from its exhibit.
Apple’s foldable iPhone will reportedly feature a crease-free display, so some future iteration of this concept panel may be used in the design. Samsung may also build versions of the panel into the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Wide Fold — the latter of which is rumored to be the same size as Apple’s foldable.
