From Battery Life.
Description:
This is the Volvo EX30 Cross Country Twin Motor Ultra, tested at a constant 110 km/h in brutal winter temperatures down to –7°C. After the extremely inefficient 130-km/h test earlier today, it’s time to see how the EX30 performs at a more realistic highway speed.
In this video you’ll see:
• True winter range at 110 km/h
• Charging from a cold battery (20 kW → 153 kW)
• Consumption between 22–27 kWh/100 km
• Final calculated range: ~235 km
• Battery preheating impact in cold weather
• Highway comfort, steering assist behaviour & ACC distance issues
• Real-world winter EV performance without any fluff
This test shows exactly what you can expect from the Volvo EX30 Cross Country on long-distance winter trips.
