I did mine on 1st March, due 1st May 2025 so got an extra 10 months VED at £0. Fully expected the site to be slow or unavailable but all went through smoothly and quickly, email acknowledgement received within minutes. I would definitely recommend anyone with an EV to renew their VED this month even...

I have just noticed this as well (started a week ago). We have been getting some very cold weather recently or it might be traffic film. I sprayed some silicone lubricant onto a paper towel and wiped the groove that the glass sits in when closed. Seems to have done the trick.

I did notice this but have never seen the green bar extend down that far…

I have become used to this feature of the EX30 now. I just control reversing using the brake pedal and don’t need to touch the accelerator at all. Also, the occasional times I move forward without the seat belt engaged, once I realised OPD is not active in this situation (caught me out initially). I...

The heated steering wheel comes automatically on every cold morning when I get in the car. I would rather be able to turn on when I want like the heated seats.

I think the onboard YouTube app also required a PIN (presumably for age restricted content). I don’t recall ever having to use ...

If I remember correctly, this is not enabled by default and needs to be switched on. Once enabled it will remember this setting unless changed by the user.

So sorry you are having these problems. My EX30 unlocks reliably using the ‘approach to open’ setting. I keep my key in a Faraday box so it is not in continuous communication with the car and also helping to prolong the fob battery life. I find I can turn off all the driver aids I need to from the ‘...

Having recently become a 2 EV household with the acquisition of a Mini Cooper SE I thought I might compare and contrast with the Volvo EX30. Originally my other half was looking to get the Aceman but after much deliberation there didn’t seem to be much point in having 2 medium sized crossovers so th...
