The Mazda MX-30<\/a> is a very specific electric car, which recently entered the U.S. market<\/a> (California). Its specs are pretty weak, as the manufacturer equipped the car with a relatively small 35.5 kWh battery (explaining that it’s better for the environment).<\/p>\n

Well, as a result, the range is just 100 miles (161 km) – a new low for 2022. The latest EPA documents reveal also that despite limiting the battery size (and thus, also the weight), the MX-30 is not too efficient either.<\/p>\n

The Mazda MX-30 appears to be a compliance car, without much love from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we must complain about the EPA, as its documents no longer include the City and Highway range ratings for some of the new cars (2022 model year).<\/p>\n

Aside from the short range, it’s very telling that the efficiency stands at just 366 Wh\/mi (228 Wh\/km) – a result that is reasonable for a much bigger vehicles. Our efficiency comparison (September 2021)<\/a> shows that the Volkswagen ID.4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E both do better.<\/p>\n

The Mazda MX-30 actually requires some 50% more energy than the most efficient EVs on the market like the Tesla Model 3 or Hyundai IONIQ Electric.<\/p>\n
