Hi, at 10.33 on the dash it shows 25.6kwh/100m for current trip which is about 3.8 miles per kw, but you quoted 2.5 m per kw, cant be both? , great vid tho! thanks

Very good. Observation. That's way more economical. We will check in appreciate the post, we will pin it.

My Hyundai Kona EV does 5.2mi per KwH easily. Any EV that cannot manage at least 4mi per KwH I wouldn’t even bother with even though this car looks great.

88 / 5.000 This video obviously tries to downplay all the major flaws of this car. My advice: You should drive it first very carefully. The driving itself is impressive but check the way you have to work with the central display. There are an awful lot of serious bugs and inconveniences that are not mentioned in this video that are seriously annoying. And the consumption is never below 20 kWh/100km if you use only a bit of the power that is offered.

Me thinks you're being a little optimistic with the 0-60 time of 3.0 seconds Mr. Howard!? 3.4... _Maybe?_ On a good day... On the right track... With a pro driver... But certainly not 3.0. Unless you're on a very steep hill... Or you've just driven off a cliff. That'd work ;-))... *_ONCE!_* And if you're sidekick with the camera and sandwiches is called Eliot, this means you must be ET? 🤔🤷♂ Extremely Talented? Great video again. And this EX30 is certainly one to look at if you're in the market for an affordable'ish EV 8-))...

Volvo may delay EX30 until ex90 domestic production starts to offset the 100% EV tariff. So 2025 most likely

I have to say that I felt this review was very softball. It’s about the fifth review I’ve watched now, and there were many faults listed across the other reviews that this one seemed to gloss over. It’s like the reviewer has an emotional attachment, and just decided to gloss over anything negative.

Leaving the EV charge network to the oil companies doesn’t make sense. Why don’t the Premium brands get together and set up a network like Tesla? It’s an income for them for life. This Volvo is a nice car but you buy a Tesla as you can jump in and drive to Monaco, Berlin or Lund with no hassle. Elon does need to employ a better stylist however…

Loads of customers have returned the EX30 for a full refund and it has been withdrawn from sale as its software is a mess, loads of faults with it. Why manufacturers insist on overloading these milk floats with tech is just asking for trouble. Volvo is dying as a car company at the hands of another Chinese company.
