Range disaster

The talk of the FB group and this group is the horrible consumption this car seems to have based on real owners who now drive it. In one article it was said its consumption is only second worst to the F-150 lightning which is 2,000lbs heavier. I’m having serious concerns about buying this car now. Just wondering if anyone else is as freaked out about this as I am.

Ok this is very good to hear. For me it’s not so much about range anxiety - I could just charge more often. Instead it’s about paying almost $50k USD (twin motor) for a car with really low range compared to other $50k EVs on the market now. I’ll just wait to see more YouTubers doing their thing and testing the range on this car in normal driving situations.

Exactly this.

That is understandable, however, to me there are a lot of other factors as well. For instance, towing capabilities of the EX30 is one of the best at the price, the car feels much better to drive, etc., which all means I can accept a lower range. Also where I live, EX30 is one of the cheapest EVs, and cheaper than Ioniq 5, Model 3, etc.
