Volvo introduces electric EX30 SUV as first Volvo car with LFP battery – Image and sound – News


Look, that appears good. Value-effective, TCO very low, dependable, and sensible. Do not understand how exact the GOM is of a Volvo, however 344km is sufficient for Groningen every day to and from. If issues like regeneration, 3-phase AC charging, and additional operation (local weather, windshield wipers) + infotainment (Android Auto/Apple Carplay) are positive, then all the pieces is okay, I believe.

Loading capability is a bit low, however that’s at most an issue through the holidays, and never even very insurmountable.

I do hope that, like Hyundai, in addition they use this chassis for a extra aerodynamic mannequin, as a result of if there may be one factor that EVs are good at, it’s clearly speaking HOW a lot power transport prices, particularly in case you evaluate it to one thing like baking a chunk of meat, your heating, or one thing else. An EV is all the time extra economical than a petroleum automotive (in any case, a liter of petrol has about 9kWh of power potential, however an EV goes additional than an ICE comes per litre), however that is nonetheless not an aerodynamic monster.

Should admit that my earlier automotive, the Ioniq Electrical (now driving the successor) was actually a ‘surprise factor’ when it comes to effectivity. However the market desires SUVs, so it “begins” there, regardless of all of the disadvantages of the shape issue (after which thankfully that is really a crossover and never an actual SUV, these issues are much more harmful!!)
