II. Charging issues
The Volvo EX 30 is a pure electric vehicle, and the most significant concern is its charging-related issues. According to official data, the estimated range of the Volvo EX 30 is 480 kilometers. However, the driving range will depend on various factors, such as the driving style, outdoor temperature, weather, wind, terrain, and road conditions. Power consumption for car functions such as heating and cooling also affects the driving range. By pre-treating the battery during charging to achieve the optimal temperature at the start of the journey, the driving range can be extended.
This model needs to be charged at a DC fast-charging station. Owners can use Google Maps on the central display screen or the Volvo EX30 app to find charging stations along their chosen routes.
(Charging stations on Google Maps)
As of September 30, 2023, the situation of charging stations in Thailand is as shown in the picture. (It does not include public charging stations that only serve specific electric car owners, such as Tesla Supercharger, MG Supercharger, etc.).
