The 2023 Mazda MX-30 is the first fully electric Mazda vehicle. Introduced to the market last year, the MX-30 takes a different approach to electrifying transport, prioritizing what consumers want from their everyday vehicle over on-paper specs and heavy batteries. The MX-30 is unique and may just be the perfect electric vehicle for you. Here, we take a look at how the 2023 Mazda MX-30 stands out from other electric vehicles on the market.
Range is one of the most important considerations for electric vehicle buyers. However, the reason range is so crucial is that batteries tend to take a long time to charge. If charging an electric vehicle were as quick as refueling a gas-powered car, buyers wouldn’t worry about electric range either. The 2023 Mazda MX-30 is built around this idea. It features a 35.5-kWh battery, considerably smaller than what you find in most electric vehicles on the market. That also means the 2023 Mazda MX-30 is significantly faster to charge. While some electric vehicles take over 10 hours to fully charge and most need at least eight hours, the Mazda MX-30 charges at home in just two hours and 50 minutes on a Level 2 charger. You can even use a Level 1 outlet and get a full battery charge in 13 hours and 40 minutes. More importantly, the MX-30 can charge from 20% to 80% on a DC fast charger with a 50-kW output in just 36 minutes. This is significant because most chargers found on the road are 50 kW. Other EVs need 100-kW or 150-kW chargers to achieve their peak charging rate, and those types of fast chargers are much harder to find. In simple terms, the MX-30 may offer less range than its competitors, but it charges a lot faster and achieves its maximum charging capability on much more readily available charging stations. That means you get back on the road a lot sooner than other electric vehicles, even if they have more range.
Speaking of range, the most important consideration for buyers shouldn’t be the actual number shown by the manufacturer, but rather the range they need for their daily commutes. The 2023 Mazda MX-30 offers 161 km of range, more than enough for the needs of the vast majority of owners on a daily basis. Other electric vehicles give you more, but how many times do you drive over 160 km in a given day? And if you have to do so, you can take advantage of the MX-30’s quicker charging time and still complete your journey.
Lastly, the 2023 Mazda MX-30 stands out with the value it offers. The base 2023 MX-30 GS starts at $42,650, while the top-of-the-line MX-30 GT starts at $47,650. Both models are offered with full government rebates in Québec and Canada, which can reach $12,000. In other words, the Mazda MX-30 is one of the most affordable electric vehicles you can buy, and its best-equipped version is priced only a few thousand dollars more than the base version of most of its competitors. You still get a range of features that you will love even in the base model, while the top-of-the-line model gives you everything from advanced connectivity features to comfort features like a heated steering wheel. When comparing available electric vehicles on the market, the 2023 Mazda MX-30 shines with its affordability and the amount of equipment it offers. Give us a call today to learn more.
