We are looking to change our current Panda Twin Air Cross and have decided we are going to go EV and we still want something 4wd.

We’ve narrowed it down to the EX twin motor.
And EV6

Being honest, I prefer the look of the EX30 and after a test drive the other week I really like how they drive ….

…… but …..

I know the EX30’s have this battery problem where you can only charge to 70 until the batteries are replaced under warranty by Volvo, which I believe is in quite a backlog.

I’ve found an EX30 Twin Motor in Ultra spec at a good price, it am wary of the whole potential battery issue with it.

The EV6 I haven’t driven but I really do like the look of it and it looks like a good alternative??

Crippled with indecision at the minute.

Two completely different markets. One is a bargain basement volvo and the other, was, a top of the range Kia.

Is it for a family or a couple?

The EV6 is way bigger than the EX30, it also has 800v so charges quicker and has more range. Plus it has also real buttons inside.

The EX30 is a chinese car underneath, with a Volvo design on top for the exterior (quite a good one I have to say).

But if the bigger size of the Kia is not an issue, that would be an easy decision for me (even without factoring the battery issue on the Volvo).

If you like the EX30 but are concerned about the battery recall and open to something larger, I'd consider the Polestar 2 Dual Motor. Also Volvo-based (XC40), but a different, bigger battery without the recall issue.
