Volvo EX30 named Electrek's EV of the year for 2024

Electrek has named the Volvo EX30 as its EV of the year for 2024. This model, which was initially set to be produced only in China, will now also be built in Europe and potentially in the U.S. as deliveries begin. The EX30 features a minimalist design, a quick 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds for the all-wheel-drive version, and a starting price of $35,000. It aims to fill the gap left by the discontinued Chevy Bolt in the compact EV market. The EX30 is gaining popularity in Europe and will soon be available in the U.S. It offers competitive performance and efficiency, with fast charging capabilities. The vehicle's size and features are seen as a response to the demand for smaller, more efficient cars.
