Rather dissapointing results. EV cars are not gonna "fly" if they continue this trend. Sky high prices, with ridiculus range affected too much by weather / load / degradation over time and too much fragile with exorbitand costs for repairing. And no, a lower price wouldn't fix the actual problem.
I am a big fan of EVs, but if I was to buy a new car, I would go for a hybrid or a plug in hybrid. I don't care much about all the new gizmos, screens and all. But I do care having at least 450km of range no matter the time of year or if 5 - 10 years have passed.
Honest, 24 Mar 2024Way unrealistic ranges. In reality 30 percent lower.TBH, Volvos EX30 efficiency is fairly low, but not as low as a lot of competition.
I would believe, in this case, you would be able to hit at least 350 km of range in a realistic mix of driving conditions.
In non highway conditions, 400+ km sounds fairly reasonable.
When you factor in real life conditions like passengers, air conditioning, cold weather, that range can drop significantly—maybe by 80/100 km. And let's be honest, the charging situation in the Europe still pretty poor.
