Our Volvo Cars Mission Viejo team invites you to learn more about this exciting new vehicle in the Volvo lineup before you schedule a test drive.

Range Capabilities of the 2025 Volvo EX30

The 2025 Volvo EX30 has a competitive electric range for a compact SUV. Estimates for the SUV's electric range are 250 to 261 miles, depending on the configuration. The Twin Motor Performance edition with 19-inch wheels has an EPA-certified range of up to 253 miles on a full charge. This gives you a good range for a daily commute and occasional long-distance travel.

Official Range vs. Real-World Performance

The EPA rating for the Twin Motor Performance is 253 miles of range; however, this may not reflect the actual range. Performance will vary depending on the driving conditions, and overall efficiency may be affected by traffic, terrain, driving speed, and the use of climate controls.

Factors Affecting the Vehicle's Range

The EX30’s range can also depend on multiple factors, such as how and where you're driving it, the road condition, driving style, battery health, extremes in temperature, and vehicle maintenance. It can also be influenced by optional and standard features, wheel size, and cargo weight.

Charging Specifications and Options

The 2025 Volvo EX30 can handle AC and DC charging for optimal flexibility at home or on the road. With a maximum DC fast-charging rate of 153 kW, the EX30 can charge from 10% to 80% in just under 27 minutes under optimal conditions. The EX30 uses the standard Combined Charging System (CSS) plug for fast charging and a standard J1772 connector for Level 2 AC.

Charging at Home: Setup and Speed

The most practical option would be to charge at home using a Level 2 (240V) charger. With a home charger, the EX30 gains around 30 miles of range per hour, making overnight charging a breeze. Volvo recommends using a professional certified electrician to install your home charger to ensure it's done safely and works properly.

Fast Charging: Stations and Compatibility

Thanks to its CCS connector, the EX30 is compatible with most major DC fast-charging networks on the road. You can expect to add significant range quickly at compatible high-speed stations, especially on long trips. Volvo's partnership with various charging networks may offer access incentives and streamlined payment options.

Advanced Charging Features

The EX30 includes modern charging technologies such as battery preconditioning, which optimizes the battery temperature before reaching a fast-charging station, ensuring faster and more efficient charging in colder weather.

Futureproofing With Bidirectional Charging

The EX30 is designed with bidirectional charging capabilities in mind, enabling potential future use for vehicle-to-grid, vehicle-to-home, and vehicle-to-load applications. These features could allow the EV to send power back to the grid, power home appliances during outages, or charge other devices, offering added value and energy flexibility.

Technical Specs: Battery and Performance

The 2025 Volvo EX30 is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack available in multiple configurations, with the larger pack used in the Twin Motor Performance model offering the highest capacity. While Volvo hasn't disclosed exact figures across all trims, the battery is engineered for long-term durability and efficiency. It's typically expected to last between eight and 10 years or over 100,000 miles, aligning with standard EV battery warranties.

Performance Metrics: Power Output and Acceleration Time

The EX30 delivers impressive performance for a compact SUV. The Twin Motor Performance model produces 422 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, making it Volvo's quickest production car to date. Rear-wheel-drive single-motor versions offer more modest acceleration while maintaining responsive handling and daily drivability.

Energy Consumption: Efficiency and Driving Tips

The Twin Motor Performance model achieves an EPA rating of 116 MPGe city, 100 MPGe highway, and 109 MPGe combined. To maximize efficiency, you should maintain moderate speeds, avoid rapid acceleration, use regenerative braking when possible, and precondition the cabin while plugged in to reduce battery load. Proper tire inflation and regular maintenance also contribute to optimal energy use.
