update on usage

On March 6, 2024, after more than six months of waiting, I went to pick mine up Volvo EX30, an Extended Range model, with a mid-range Plus finish. Time My exam was held in BarcelonaI had justified this choice instead of Tesla: it was the size that decided me, the time Google’s clean interface is the closest thing to Tesla’s experience – one screen to control everything. The reputation of the brand also convinced me, compared to the American car manufacturer whose image is affected by the escape – and surprising decisions – of its boss.

In one month, I traveled a little over 1,300 km – which is not a lot. If the experience observed in Barcelona convinced me, the first long tests published a few days before delivery gave me doubts. Although we recorded between 14.4 kWh/100 and 18.9 kWh/100 on Spanish roads, with low temperatures and few expressways, other tests have reported higher figures, sometimes as low as 30 kWh/100.

What is questioning my acquisition? On the contrary. After more than 1,300 km in my environment and some trips on French highways, I’m glad I chose the EX30.
