$26k after tax credit? There should be more of these, i't s a perfectly fine car for someone that lives somewhat centrally in a large city, especially as a second car.

I drove my i3 for 4 years with zero issues, the one time when I even cut it close range wise was when we drove it over 40 miles on way in freezing weather on the highway because my in-laws wanted to see it and even then, made it to a DC charger with plenty of range to spare, and that is only because I didn't want to go slightly out of my way to charge basically half-way instead of 3/4 of the way.

Batteries are too big on too many EVs, 100 miles is completely reasonable for most users.

Okay look, I'm one of the first people to say range is highly overrated (My 40 kWh Leaf has had zero issues with it, and it reliably gets 150-160 miles), but the MX-30 is criminal. A 100 mile EV, in 2023?! What bullshit is this?!

I even kind of like the look of it, but they aren't even trying. If it were half the price and trying to be that affordable 17-20k EV sure, the market could certainly use that, but for 35,000 dollars?!

lol.

Mazda fanboy and apologist warning…



They made 500 of them and sold them only in California afaik, which was exactly enough to satisfy a regulatory requirement. Mazda is a small car company with not a ton of resources (comparatively). They are sticking a rotary range extender in it, but the range is only projected to be like 160 ish? They are just now about to release their first PHEV in the US, so I’d more compare them to Subaru (who has nothing EV without Toyota’s homework).

I speculate wildly that they will partner with Toyota for their tech in the latter half of the decade, I mean look they just released a new inline 6 ICE engine.

I’m pretty sure it qualifies for $0 tax credit. Also the bolt ev is $26k before tax credits and has 260 miles of range.

Also just how a smaller battery is going to be cycling deeper and faster in the same conditions which will make it wear out much sooner than a larger battery.

If you assume NMC cells and give it a conservative 2000 cycles before it degrades to “EOL” (still usable just loss of capacity) that’s still nearly 200,000 miles in a car designed to only go 100 miles per charge.

The MX-30s issues are that it isn't very efficient (especially in the cold) and can't charge very quickly. The original 28kWh Ioniq is a much better example of a small battery, cheapish EV

Yes there is definitely a market for small battery, efficient EVs and I don't think they necessarily have to be 'compliance cars'.

The MX-30 isn't a good deal by any metric though - it's not particularly efficient, nor is it any cheaper than more capable cars. I suspect that that vast majority of them sold worldwide will be the mild hybrid version anyway.

Are y'all not realizing the MX-30 is 35k or something? Yes a smaller cheaper EV would be fantastic to have. There's nothing even in the sub 25k range, let alone sub 20k. You could easily justify 100 mile range in those brackets.

This thing is a travesty, and no it's not just a compliance thing. They are selling it at least around the US now. My local Mazda dealer has two of the 2023s (with a 5k markup. I guess they're hoping there's at least two Russian Bears around here to buy them?) right now.

Even the 0-60 is a freaking joke.

I know I might sound biased but the MX30 is bigger and costs more than my Jeep Avenger while having less range and boot space. I could understand smaller range on tiny cars like the Honda e or a Fiat 500 but it's hulking huge so there is plenty of room for batteries.

That's why I'm wondering, H2 will never, and was never going to, overcome its storage and efficiency issues, PHEVs are cool, but are about mid-way between ICE and BEV in terms of CO2 emissions, and every one who has one just wants a full BEV. The best solutions, urban densification and expanded mass transit, well you might as well ask the genie to fix the climate problem directly, and I doubt the CEO of Toyota was arguing for less cars.

So that leaves shilling hydrogen, because Toyota can't admit they lost their commanding lead in low emissions vehicles to everyone else because they insisted on investing in a technology that was dead the second the lithium ion battery was created, and will never be seen outside a few pilot projects in the US.

Electric cars are a net negative on the environment in the developing world. Hybrids make far more sense there.

Even in the developed world hybrids would be a massive improvement over ICE cars and it’s pretty wild to be cutting them out of any climate mitigation strategy. The science pans out — a hybrid+EV world is only slightly worse for the environment than an EV-only worked, and it has massive upsides in affordability.

That's an astoundingly efficient car, and at a motortrend estimated price of $55K for the long range version, they're not even really taking a bath on the batteries. Heck of an improvement to the Ioniq 5 with the same battery capacity. Hyundai has clearly figured out this EV thing.
