Volvo EX30's Endurance in a Unique 622-Mile Challenge

A recent test focused on the new Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance model, gauging its effectiveness for long-distance travel, typically designed for local jaunts Amidst relatively harsh conditions featuring an average temperature of 41°F (5°C) and considerable wetness, the EV was subjected to a 622-mile challenge With an observed energy consumption rate of 473 Wh/mile (294 Wh/km), the vehicle delivered efficiency of about 2.1 miles/kWh. Despite the less-than-ideal circumstances mirroring those faced by the Nissan Ariya, the EX30 managed to complete the journey in 11 hours However, the requirement for eight charging stops, averaging 61 miles apart, underscores the importance of charging infrastructure proximity for longer trips A hint of optimism for the EV's performance was offered with suggestions that in perfect conditions, the EX30 could shave off 30 minutes from the journey time. Nevertheless, it's evident that the Volvo EX30 still trails behind leading EV models in terms of range and travel endurance.
