DC charging time

Indicative DC charging time 10→80%, derived from battery capacity and charging power — not measured by us. Actual time depends on the charging curve, temperature and starting SoC.
Charging situation10→80% (min)
At model peak (153 kW) ~ 28
At a 150 kW charger ~ 29
At a 50 kW charger ~ 87
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

In depth

WLTP 476 km with the 64 kWh pack (Extended Range, NMC). Strong point is the acceleration; point of attention is the modest boot (318 l) for the class. Owners report in practice 15-25% less range in cold weather (public forums, not measured by us).

About the Volvo EX30 Single Motor (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The EX30 sits on Geely's SEA platform, shared with the Smart #1. It is Volvo's smallest EV; the Extended-Range version has a 64 kWh pack (usable) and reaches WLTP 476 km. DC charging goes up to 153 kW, 10-80% takes about 27 minutes under favourable conditions (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). The acceleration is firm for the class; the boot at 318 l is on the small side.

In practice

WLTP consumption is 16.7 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure). Over a full year, including winter trips, owners report mixed around 19.5 kWh/100km (owner forums, n≈15, not measured by us); that pushes the real range below the 476 km WLTP. The list price rose indicatively from about 38,995 euro (reference date early 2024) to 40,995 euro now; this is a starting price, not an offer and not a prediction.

Points to note

Almost all controls run via the central screen; there is no instrument display behind the steering wheel and no physical buttons for climate (recurring owner point). The software gave bug reports at launch that have been resolved in part with updates. Take a test drive at the official dealer and pay attention to the screen controls and the rearward view.
