I drove from Munich to Bozen yesterday in the ex30 twin. We started in ok weather conditions but the temperature got down to 3 degrees Celsius in the alps. I got 350km with one charge at about 18kwh while always driving as fast as allowed✌️
Thank you!! Finally someone testing it under real conditions. Was it the twin variant?
@@Xoomeyyes twin, but I drove without performance mode.
@@technight3476 what was average speed at the end on your trip computer.?
@@georgephutsisi8838it says 54 now. But we drove 90km in the city on top of the trip. So should have been at about 60-70 kmh. Austria and Italy is very slow on highways :)
@@technight3476 thank you, is it noticeable in everyday drive when only 1 motor is active and do you also feel when the 2nd „kicks in“ ?
@KrisRifa thanks for another range test! Is there a link to access the spreadsheet (Google Sheets?) you show in the video?
Volvo still has a lot of adjustment work to do! This can be better! I will be patiently for delevery of my EX 30 in oktober! ( with , i hope, a lot of adjustments!)
Yeah they do. It seems like Polestar is doing better than Volvo with the efficiency of their electrics.
In the end though it is cross sectional area times drag coefficient that determines efficiency more than anything else it seems. The boxier and higher roofed the vehicle, the worse it will perform. More rolling resistance also carries a big impact.
The weight and size have less effect than the two things above, except when size affects CDA.
Well it's all from the same factory, so i am confident!🤔
I also ordered one, and am equally hoping that the range will improve slightly with a bit of tweaking. Hope springs eternal.
Can you please try the Smart #3 expecially range and info system?
Hi Kris, Many reviewers have said they prefer the handling of the single motor to the twin. What are your thoughts?
Where can i access that range spreadsheet shown in the video?
Thanks for the vid Kris. I think this demonstrates it is not a super efficient high speed tourer. That said, you have to buy a car to match it's purpose -- for us that is city comuter car, tight garages and streets, traffic, trams etc... seems kinda perfect size for that.
I took delivery of my EX30 extended range in UK on 19th March. Big problems setting up app, it took 2 days to get it working main dealer blamed Volvo. I took it for a 160 mile (257km) drive half on ACC at 66mph and the other half normal driving. I was amazed that when I got home I had 21% battery left from my 100% starting. -0.32 to 0.33 kWh/miles very heavy battery usage less than 200 miles per 100% charge.
Its urban car, no doubt. I live in Malta so I cannot wait to get it delivered!
Awesome!

Recap by Tammy AI
My e-Golf is about the same size and shape as EX30. I live in SF, CA and driving on the highway in “winter” I get around 14 kWh/100 km.
e-Golf is 10cm lower, which is a lot in this party. This also has about twice the battery size compared to an e-Golf, making it a lot heavier. It is also AWD with almost 4x the power... So comparing them in that sense is hard. And no, your e-Golf won't get 14kWh/100km in this test done at this speed. I am sure it will have lower consumption than this, but expect it to be a little less efficient than the ID.3 that gets around 21kWh/100km in similar conditions.
Could be. FYI I always drive in Eco mode, set car to 23 C interior temp, have a heat pump, and ABRP calibrated reference consumption at 105 kph is 14.5 kWh/100km. Thanks for response, Kris.
Kris, love your videos. I am on at the fence on a new 2024/2025 EX30 vs a lightly used 2023 Polestar 2 Dual Motor Performance. Any thoughts between the cars? We do have two younger kids, but both the Ex30 and P*2 would be ok, I am only 170cm and my wife 160cm. I feel the P*2 would be more practical - but it is a generation older. We live in Canada.
Hi, FWIW, I currently have a Polestar 2 single motor standard range, and will be switching to an ex30 twin. However, I would probably recommend the Polestar 2 at this stage. It's a bit bigger, has significantly more room in the rear seats, and is all together a very fine and mature car, where the EX30 is still teething. I'm switching to the Ex30 because I'm first and foremost a Volvo fan, and the ex30 is ridiculously cheap, insofar as I'm getting a super powerful twin performance ultra version with all the bells and whistles for just a little more than what my very minismalist, base version fwd polestar 2 cost. But in your situation, I would recommend the polestar.
Looking forward to range test after some software tweaks.
Me too, but also doing this test in warmer weather as well!
Would have been much easier if they could have just provided a small screen in front of the driver. Like how MG4 did. Consumption and speed is always available and other important warnings.
I haven’t heard any test’s confirming this - but when I tested the twin I was disappointed about the performance (comming from a XC40 twin). And the dealer explained this by saying that you only get the full performance (428hk) if the battery charge is 80% or above. Is this something that you can confirm?
Hmmmmm.... I can probably do an acceleration test to see if this is true or not! Thanks for the comment!
Confirmed, full power only above 80% battery load.
@@patrickrammer9066 So that means that e.a on a roadtrip charging to 80% - which is normal on a public charger- the car will never deliver as promised. I think that should be a point better communicated by Volvo. Thanks for sharing:) Happy Easter
I like the screen as it is, and regards to the distance I think for the size of car the return you got is about right.
I've just got my first ev, unfortunately it was a rushed decision due to my car being written off by insurance because a taxi crashed into me. It is unfortunately a Kona, but I'll bide my time and get a EX30 cross country I think in the near future. Maybe a few more things will have been sorted out, with both yourself and Volvo_Kristian pointing out these flaws. But all in all great video, takk 🙂
Why unfortunately? Kona is way better than ex30
@@tamacrew my experience so far as a comparison to a Volvo xc40 I had, and also recently had a xc40 hybrid rental car. The Volvo’s I’ve had are much nicer to drive, don’t get me wrong, the Kona is ok for now. Just not my preference, so I’ll have a choice in 3 years time to get an EX30 EX40 or an EX60.
BYD Seal AWD please!
I got this car because of the form factor and its clean design which some say cheap, I dont care it looks very nice. can't stand BYD interiors.
And going by your graph, all the figures are just not comparable. You do it in all weather conditions, temperatures, speeds . So I feel this isn’t a fair and comparable test here
It's not the length of the car that kills efficiency, it's the height of them. We can't afford longer cars in cities, but the lower would be profitable for everyone (except for automakers accountants)
Could it be that you were driving at 75mph? I personally think that could be it
My thinking to. Anything above 65-70 your range will be shocking on most EVs
@@MattyThomas86 That’s roughly what I have had advised in the research I am doing (I have ordered an EX30 - delivery in a few months) I love these YT reports, especially this channel. Is your knowledge based on your own vehicle experience?
@@Odinscrow1962 also this chap is in Norway. Somewhere like the UK where the temperature averages between 10-15*C I think it will perform a lot better .
If I did 75 in my cupra born I notice the reduced range
@@MattyThomas86 Thanks MT86 - have a great Easter Break. All the best.
Most EV drivers know , 75mph and cold weather your results are not going to be great on any EV. Reduce that down to 65-70mph and try again when it gets slightly warmer
Maybe you missed "T" in Redemtion?
Thanks! I missed the P....
Jeg ønskede bare så meget at Volvo fik succes med den her bil, jeg elsker Volvos nye design, men de skal godt nok stramme sig an med den rækkevidde.
23.5kWh/100 km is REALLY bad sorry. I have to drive insanely rough with my Model 3 to get to that consumption lol.
Thank you for the test. I had been waiting for such a test in good condition.
Very disappointing result. 90%-10% is really the range that you would want to do in real life. So I would argue that the real-real range is only 214 km, which is much too small for me. Other cars in a similar price range achieve a much higher range.
And, if I understand this right, this test is not even in AWD mode, only RWD. which makes it even worse.
So I will likely cancel my booking, mostly because of that alone. Too bad because I like everything else about this car.
EV are great for the cities
Or as a normal car, 40% or all cars in Norway are EVs. 90% of all new cars sold are electric, and the country works just fine. I've traveled multiple times across Europe in EVs without any problems.
@@KrisRifa really? Because of Norway? First of all Noway try to actively ban all gasoline cars and they gave the customer a big discount for buying an EV. Thats the ONLY reason they are selling so much EVs in Norway. Its not solely on the customer choices. You really think the majority would have bought an EV with those prices compared to gasoline cars? ONE country in the entire world is doing so with the help of the goverment. Meanwhile the rest of the world think otherwise and is not stupid enough to spend huge amount like that when there are other options. On top of that Norway is a very rich country with a small population. The 40% in Norway is NOTHING. Thats like 0.5% of entire europe.
The facts are right there. People don´t like EVs for many reasons
@@catha86 what the hell are you on about? You said "EVs are great for cities" and I replied that they work just fine as cars for anywhere. And as an example I talked about how 40% of all cars in Norway are EVs and it works just fine. Refuting your point. I never said anything about why and what, because that has nothing to do with if they work like proper cars or not. So STOP putting words in my mouth and strawmanning me, that is not cool. People don't like many things for many reasons, doesn't mean the reasons are good reasons.
@@KrisRifa I´m just saying Norway is a bad example because they force EVs on people.
EVs for the city works because its short distances and you can always find charging stations but in the long run I don´t think EVs are viable because they are so expensive and second hand market is poor
@@catha86 I believe that there are valid use cases for EVs. For example as a daily driver to get to work and then charge it overnight at home. Ideally from your own solar cells + wallbox. As someone who is living in a city I don't think that an EV is better than an ICE. First, charging infrastructure is still kinda messy in many European cities. And second due to high traffic congestion I generally prefer public transport or bikes. Here in Germany we have many workers who need to travel long distances very often, like sales people. And they are used to drivingfast (160-200km/h, no speed limits in Germany). For them EVs do not work at all. For the same price of an EV you can get a diesel car that has 2.5x times the range and can be refilled in 5-10 minutes (VW ID.7 vs VW Passat B9). Because of this I strongly believe that EV will slowly become more popular (as battery density improves), but will never fully replace ICE cars.
This is not good. Sorry. The temperature and wind are unimportant in a test. That's just how the weather is. The car simply has to work all year round. And you don't always have to justify consumption with wind and temperature. You do this on every test. Why? The consumption is simply too high for the small car. And half the year is not the perfect situation of 22 degrees and dry pavement and no wind.
Thanks for your comment! Because EVs are extremely efficient they are also very sensitive to temperature and wind, and that's why those things are huge factor in these tests. Some cars will get up to 40% more range in summer vs winter because of this.
Yes, I think this is very relevant depending on where you live. In some places the weather is much less variable and so it's always good to know under what conditions the test was performed.
Horrible range, its 2024
It’s winter!!!
This is like an expensive MX-30 (all electric version), with better range and performance. Except the MX-30 is overall a nicer car...and like half the price.
Sure, they may be about the same size, but this does have twice the battery capacity, twice the range, three times the power and "only" costs 1,45x that of the Mazda! (Not twice the price!)
