Volvo is no longer accepting EX30<\/a> orders online in the US. In the latest setback,\u00a0Volvo removed<\/span> the option to reserve an EX30 on its website. It\u2019s now replaced with a new \u201ckeep me updated\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Volvo\u2019s smallest and cheapest EV, the EX30, has created quite the hype. It was officially unveiled last June with production kicking off in China last fall.<\/p>\n

The EX30 starts at $34,950 in the US and 36,000 euros ($38,500) in Europe as one of the most affordable EVs on the market. In December, the first EX30 models reached European customers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite its small size, the EX30 is already having a big impact. Through the first six months of 2024, Volvo has sold nearly 48,000 EX30 models globally. Despite the hype, the EX30 has had several issues leading to delays and more setbacks.<\/p>\n

Volvo is recalling all nearly 72,000 EX30<\/a> models made over a software glitch. The bug could cause the EX30\u2019s speedometer to go into test mode.<\/p>\n

On top of this, the EU recently introduced new tariffs on Chinese-made EVs that could impact profits. Volvo already planned to build the EX30 in Belgium, but it could be sooner than expected<\/a> as it looks to avoid additional duties.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Volvo announced the EX30 won\u2019t arrive in the US<\/a> until 2025. It was initially expected to reach the US by the end of 2024.<\/p>\n

Volvo said the delay was \u201cdue to changes in the global automotive landscape.\u201d In May, the US introduced a 100% tariff<\/a> on Chinese EV imports, which is likely a big reason.<\/p>\n

Now, Volvo is no longer accepting EX30 orders in the US. Previously, Volvo\u2019s website<\/a> had a \u201cReserve\u201d tab for placing an order. The website now shows a \u201cKeep me updated\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

You will likely still be able to reserve your EX30 through a dealership. However, this is seemingly another setback as Volvo works to meet the growing demand for affordable EVs.<\/p>\n

Volvo is also expected to begin deliveries of its larger EX90 in the second half of the year, missing its early 2024 target.<\/p>\n
