    $45k for an extremely ugly and cramped looking vehicle. Best wishes Volvo!

    Yikes. $46/47k? Absolutely not. False promises.

    Os carros estão loucamente caros

    Volvo has not been competitive for years

    Overpriced garbage

    The sleek design of a handheld vacuum combined with the exhilarating power of… also a handheld vacuum.

    • @nickthaskater

      August 28, 2025 at 5:43 pm

      422 horsepower and 0-60mph in just over 3 seconds is comparable to a handheld vacuum?

    August 28, 2025 at 12:04 pm

    Had ours for over a year – absolutely love it. Highest performance in its class, and it’s built really well.

    I simply love it, the form factor and the size of the Volvo EX30 is perfect, I especially love the Cross Country version, hope to be able to get it soon 😉

    I wish we had the single motor $35K model, it would have been so much more appealing

    • @mrlessy

      August 30, 2025 at 1:45 am

      I was told supposed to come fall 2025 🤷

    I was interested in the ex30 due to its small size and amazing acceleration. However, the lack of physical buttons, no driver instrument cluster, and sensors that watch your eyes and beep at you the moment you take your eyes off the road were deal breakers. I wound up getting a CPO ’24 C40 Recharge and I’m very happy with it.

    Rear driver side charger connector? I’m out, my garage level 2 won’t reach that (and “extension cables” on 50amps is at your own risk, but it certainly won’t be at my risk).

    August 28, 2025 at 11:49 pm

    Awesome video! But its missing the fun stick and 3rd pedal…..😮

    Most anticipated EV 😂😂🤣🤣

    I like the color but I wish it was even bolder. In the sunlight, it just looks a little faded.

  15. @HuhWhat101

    August 29, 2025 at 5:34 pm

    That interior is a lovely bit of minimalist design, but done right 👍

    Not at that price…

    I’ve been watching CNET since the Brian Cooley days and I just realized we’re all over here, talking cars and growing old together. ❤❤

    250mi range? TRASH. $46k price tag? TRASH. no buttons for nfotainment? TRASH. car is total dogshit and shouldnt even exist!

    August 30, 2025 at 8:18 am

    That’s one way of getting a Chinese vehicle into the US 😅

    August 30, 2025 at 8:44 am

    Why are most electric cars so ugly and boxy looking, where are all the coupes, 3 door and hot hatch versions, not everyone wants a granny car or family wagon.

  21. @piskac2781

    August 30, 2025 at 8:52 am

    100% Junk

  22. @im4udevco

    August 30, 2025 at 5:01 pm

    For that price, Volvo can keep it. A lot more options for that price

  23. @stahlthurhree5711

    No V2L 👎 kias have it. Hyundais have it. Nissan leaf has it. Ford lighting, Chevy Silverado has it.

Upload vs download speed: which one is actually making your home internet feel slow? If your video calls freeze, your files take forever to sync, or your livestream stutters, the problem is usually your upload speed — and most providers don’t advertise it. In this video, we break down the difference between upload and download speed, what symmetrical internet speed means, and how GFiber (formerly Google Fiber) delivers 100% fiber internet with upload speeds that match your download speeds on every plan.
GFiber has kept the same monthly price for gigabit internet since 2012 — no annual contracts, no forced bundles, free installation, and month-to-month flexibility. See what real customers say on the GFiber channel: youtube.com/@GFiber
