4600km EX30 roadtrip and 18000km total in 8 months - zero issues. Love the car.
Hi!
I want to present an alternative data point: of somebody who had zero issues with the car and who would buy it again with no regrets. Since people usually don't post if they have zero issues, it can skew the appearance to seem as if the car has more issues than it actually does.
We've bought my EX30 Plus Extended Range in December 2025, brand new. Since then we've done 17867km doing all kinds of driving across the EU. We've had zero issues. No battery recall, either.
We did two European roadtrips, one in January-February and one right now at the end of July, which was a 4600km roadtrip spanning 12 days. Mostly highways. I'm attaching a short vibe coded animation of the route we took.
It was brilliant. Charging is fast, charge-points are lots in Europe and placed in conveniant locations and we never felt like we were waiting for the car to charge, it all felt natural. A little coffee stop here, a short toilet stop there, literally zero worries (except the fact that charging networks are too fragmented at this point, but I guess time will fix this).
Trip duration: 12 days
Trip distance: ~4600km
Trip charging cost: 328Euro (equivalent to about 3.6L diesel or 3.7 gasoline)
Trip average consumption: 17.4kwh/100km
Always drove at the speed limit, the only exception was in Poland where on a short stretch there was forward wind and I lowered my speed to 130 (instead of the allowed 140) to make sure I reach the charger with 10% for optimal charging speed.
80% highway driving including German Autobahn where I reached a top speed of 185km/h (felt super in control, by the way).
I would say this is a perfectly capable roadtrip car, not just a "city car".
Finally, for the whole of these almost 18000km we have had zero issues. No service appointments, no recalls, no nothing. In case somebody reads this subreddit and thinks: "this car is full of problems!" It is not. It's just that people don't post when they have no problems.
