Using EV in Serbia and Balkans?
Hello, I see some EVs in Belgrade from time to time but I wonder about practically of those type of cars here. Last time I was walking with my friend and we saw something very modern, upon approaching I saw Volvo logo on it with name XC30, I joked that it's modern brother of my C30.
When I checked the car it was redesigned Zeeker X.
What if I want to go to Bulgaria, Montenegro, etc how to find a charging station there? What about repair shops for EVs? Do you have problem with queues during charging? I heard that only super modern EVs have fast charging ports available on it and you need 10 minutes to fill them up.

Volvo C30 facelift 2010 is my first
Hello, Volvo C30 facelift 2010 with 1.6D engine and 5 gears manual transmission is my first car. I am newbie driver and my driving skills are poor right now. I asked AI for some tips to modernize the car to make it easier to use.
The car has a factory navigation system, which is outdated compared to Google Maps by a landslide. I replaced the car head unit with some from AliExpress and reverse view camera from China as well. We spend 13 hours mounting them, it was a nightmare to install it, but we managed to do so. However, I still have problem with a speakers, only the right one works, others are quiet. Reverse camera is a main deal maker, it's easier when you see your rear bumper.
I saw recommendation that I need to install protection plate to protect the bottom of the engine. It's literally exposed to nasty stuff on the road, however, I assume that Volvo made it to improve the amount of air cooling moving to the system. Do you have aftermarket reinforcement on your C30?
The car also has start-stop system, it literally stopping engine from working until I press the clutch, it's so freaking annoying to deal with on a manual transmission. I just constantly setting it off. Do you use start-stop system on your car or, like me, starting to drive by deactivating it?
Do you have recommendations for lighters which switches off them I turn off the engine? It could accidentally eat the car battery, it's a complex task to recharge it.
What did you do to your Volvo C30 in order to improve the comfort? Maybe I am missing something?

Itasha session at BiliBili World 2026
Making the long trip all the way from Guangzhou to Shanghai was quite a challenge, yet ever since I wrapped my ride, I've been longing for a chance to showcase my ride on a nationwide stage, and so it happened. There are way more impressive builds on scene than the selected ones on display.

How Miata holds on winters?
Basically the title, could I go on her at something like -25C(-13F) with 10 cm(3.9) snow on a road in mountain region?
