THE MAZDA MX-30 IS THE WORST EV OF THE YEAR - AND I DRIVE IT!

EV Channels Review

The Mazda MX-30 is critically reviewed as a deeply flawed EV, particularly for the North American market. While praised for its stylish interior, excellent steering feel, and surprisingly capable handling on twisty roads due to its rear-biased weight distribution and well-tuned suspension, these positives are overshadowed by significant drawbacks. The vehicle suffers from extremely limited range (100 miles EPA), slow DC fast charging speeds (peaking around 33kW and tapering significantly), and a lack of usable battery capacity information provided by Mazda. The reviewer also notes the car is based on a combustion chassis, evident in its design and the absence of a frunk. Despite its on-road driving dynamics, the MX-30 is deemed abysmal on paper and not recommended for purchase, with a potential lease being the only viable option for those seeking a secondary, fun-to-drive vehicle.
