Why the Volvo EX30 will definitely be your next electric car
That could certainly be possible because it seems to be the ideal electric vehicle. Also a safe choice because it has a trusted brand name, modern design, sufficient range and charging speed. With its affordable starting price of 36,795, it also seems like a bargain. Is that right?
We have a direct reference as this Volvo is a sister of the Smart #1 and the Zeekr However, these two are more expensive.
The Volvo EX30 is the cheapest of the three
This is remarkable for a European because he has known Volvo longer than Smart and Zeekr, which still have to prove themselves. But why does this Volvo take on the role of price breaker and how do you explain the price difference? Mainly due to the use of a smaller 51 kWh battery, which is only available on the Volvo.
The Zeekr and Smart always have the 69 kWh battery that you only get from Volvo if you go for the extended range version, and then suddenly Volvo’s Benjamin costs at least around 41,495 and that’s comparable to its Geely relatives .
Everyone immediately wonders what range the base EX30 has. The answer is 344 km, for an additional charge of 4,750 euros there is the Extended Range with a range of 471 km.
Whether the strategy with this cheaper battery will be successful is a nice current test case, because how much are we still suffering? ReachFear or range anxiety? For compact electric vehicles, at least 400 km seems to be the norm at the moment. Would you buy a Volvo with less money? Sensible people who only drive short distances might do that, but the general public will probably opt for the extended range version. You can see more about the Volvo EX30 in the video
