How the Volvo EX30 Single Motor Extended Range compares to similar EVs on battery, range, home charging speed and V2X capability.

MG4 EV SE Long Range

EX30 Twin Motor Performance
Volvo CCS
AWD and 0–62mph in 3.6 seconds if performance matters more than range
Yes. V2L at 3.7kW was enabled via an over-the-air software update in summer 2024. It uses the Type 2 AC charging port rather than a dedicated socket. V2H and V2G are not supported.
Peak DC charging is 153kW via CCS. BMW quotes a 10–80% time of around 26 minutes, which is quick for the class and faster than the BMW iX1 (130kW) and Volkswagen ID.4 Pro (135kW).
318 litres with seats up. There is no frunk. This is on the small side for the SUV body shape; the Volkswagen ID.4 Pro offers 543 litres. For a compact city SUV the EX30's dimensions suit urban use rather than family road trips.
At under £34,000 it is one of the more affordable premium compact EVs in the UK. Fast DC charging, V2L, and Volvo's safety reputation make it strong value, though the Renault 5 undercuts it significantly for buyers who do not need the SUV stance.
