EX30 P5 (MY27)

The Volvo EX30 P5 (MY27) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £33,060. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.7 seconds, quicker than 61% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 171 miles (275 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 13% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 228th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (178 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 49 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 80 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 190 miles (306 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £193 per mile of real-world range, close to the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
