I have the EX30 Single Motor Extended Range - Ultra for just over 2 months now. Same here, I was quite sceptical about the placing of the speed display and buttons. But to be honest, it took me 2 days to get used to it and now it feels weird when I drive in a car with a gauge cluster. It really doesn't take away any of the focus on the road. I'd say, try it for yourself really... btw, it drives like a dream

Now I'm really curious how this compared to the new EV3 KIA that was announced. Both are almost identical in size, but the KIA promises a version that will offer 300-350 miles. Also after seeing some videos, it genuinely appears to be more luxurious and higher quality than this Volvo. On the other hand, EX30 is significantly faster (KIA says 7+ seconds for base version) and offers RWD instead of FWD. Lastly KIA was saying the EV3 should qualify for the full tax credit when it releases in 1-2 years.

Many of us have moved on. They flubbed the US launch, empty promises, missed deadlines, little to no comms. It's got too many cut corners and ultimately felt cheap in person. Cheaper than other EVs in this segment and way too cheap feeling for a Volvo. Problem is, when you spec it up, it can easily exceed $40k with no incentives - and there are a lot of options at the point. It will be interesting how they navigate the 100% tariff as well.

Thank you for the review, but I’ll keep my Chevy Bolt. And when Bolt comes back in 2025/2026 with Ultium updates and has comparable DCFC to this Volvo the EX30 will be dead in the water. Only benefit to the EX30 is it’s RWD not FWD and is available in AWD. But not sure that’s worth giving up the normal car usability of the Bolt over goofy stuff like no gauge cluster and the horrible ID4 style window switches. Bummer because I was so excited about the EX30 initially. Anyway, in the mean time, just buy Equinox EV, not the EX30, because tax credit will make the price better and you get an actual interior.
