Love it. Mine just got off the boat and I'm also a 2020 Bolt driver. Can't lie, i love the height of my Bolt and wish this car was higher otherwise it's excellent
@@EzDeanFassassi you will love it!
Why is he standing in front of the car. They have this technique called voice over. That way we can see the car.
We give you a whole tour of the car later in the video. Did you watch the whole thing?
Great review. Surprised how small it is. Still would be a great commuter car which is why I would buy one.
TY!
I've watched A Lot of Ev Hummer reviews, the best in-depth infotainment review I've seen yet! Great job.
@@justinboyce1285 thank you!! That means a lot!
Great episode! The EX30 is really nice… I just hope there is enough room in the EV market for Volvo and Polestar to exist independently.
@@RateMyEVdotcom good point!
The color is Celestial Metallic. I have a 2024 Sport 3 in this color.
Thank you! They took off the window sticker before they gave it to us and we forgot to get the name of the color.
Love the Tesla updates. Thanks!

The Key Tag is NOT rechargeable - it has a replaceable button cell battery
@@Maisemore thank you!!
Weird that it would be a different part than EX90. EX90 key is physically the same, however that one is rechargeable using the cars wireless charging pad. -Sebastian.
It is a fantastic car
Yes it is!
Very pretty...nice review!!!
TY!
cool car i love volvos
@@mullen25 yes!!
Nice review but just to correct one important point. This car is built in China. The Ghent, Belgium plant will not be on line until mid 2025.
@@baf1229 thanks for the info! We always want to hear when we get something wrong
That was my bad... I was going by VIN number which seemed to indicate that this was a EU built car. -Sebastian
Awesome review! What a cool Volvo. $48k doesn’t seem that outrageous for the quality, features and performance you get.
Agreed!
Could the glovebox button be 'moved' to somewhere that isn't hidden in a menu? If there's not going to be a physical button it should be as easy to access as possible.
@@screenPhiles we’re seeing a lot of cars move the glove box button to the screen. Very similar to what Tesla does, but I like the suggestion.
@@theevgeekpodcast You know those four buttons next to that scroll knob? One of those buttons would be PERFECT for the glovebox (preferably the one to the right).
@ agreed!
Thanks for watching everyone!!

Excited that Volvo FIANLLY brought this to the US...and it's much smaller than I anticipated.
We really loved driving it!!!
According to the owners manual, this truck has substandard plugs. Page 102 reveals that the outlets only put out 400 watts, far less than what’s necessary to run most jobsite power tools. It will charge batteries, and not much else. I found this out by accident after the sale. I complained. I want, and expected standard plugs in my WORK TRUCK. I asked if this could be fixed, no response. I asked why such pertinent information was not disclosed. Was this Chevys idea of a “surprise” for lower income folks that can’t afford to fight back? I asked victory Chevrolet for my money back, no, so far. I think withholding important information like this is fraud. So if you can’t afford the RST, DONT buy this thing. You’ll be stuck with it just like I am. It’s disturbing how far company policy has strayed from honesty and integrity.
Thanks for the info!
Great review guys. Lots of similarities with our Blazer EV. The remote folding rear seats and separate controls for seat back and bottom heaters are some nice differences.
Blazer EV is coming soon :)
Great review! Looks like a nice Cadillac. Worth the upgrade over a Blazer or Equinox EV?
Agreed
if you look for a luxury interior/options it worth it. and the motor/battery pack is better than Equinox and Blazer(SS AWD is same battery) but at almost same price of SS I believe this is a better option. As well starting on lux 2/sport 2 we have super cruise (level 2 autonomous drive) to drive hands free on highways
@ thanks! Good points, sounds like if you’re coming from a Cadillac ICE, the Lyriq is a natural fit.
Great points!!
Love this car Joel. Wish I could afford one
Me too!!
model lux 3 and sport 3 have rear climate control as well rear seat heaters
Thank you!!
I was wondering about that. No rear heated seats in a Caddy seems like a big miss.
the key card is available for 2025 models, I got mine and it works to lock/unlock and start the car
Thank you for the info!
Thanks for watching everyone!

Joel looks like one of those Camela supporters. Poor Joel. First a Trump victory and now no ability to give Musk money.
Huh?? This post has nothing to do with politics! And if you also want to know, I am a Tesla Model Y owner so Elon gets plenty of my money
@@theevgeekpodcast My neighbor hates Elon so much he just took a 22k loss on his Model Y to get into a Mach-E. I love those lefties who are stuck in Teslas because they are underwater.
I do notsee juice coming out of der superchargers
Yes, supercharger access to Kia stopped working… Hopefully they turn it back on in a few weeks
Well… looks like Tesla caught on and disabled the ability of using a "fake" ID. The good news is that Kia adapters are now being sent to dealers so the ability to Supercharge will likely be authorized soon.
Yeah, we’re hoping they turn back on access once they get these adapter sent out.
I drive a Tesla so not worried, I don't ever charge at a non Tesla supercharger
@@cadec99 😂😂
There’s no such thing as a non-Tesla Supercharger.
I just did the same experiment at a brand new Supercharger 3 site, same result. Tesla display says “no connection” and shuts off. Using A2Z Typhoon adapter.
@@wrenchrad thanks for confirming!
I was watching a video recently and they said Ford was finishing production of the current Lightning in 2027 and there was no model scheduled after it. Have you guys heard anything about this?
@@RateMyEVdotcom that’s news to us, but we know some people afford that we can reach out to. I think by then they should have their next gen truck released.
Are Kia and Hyundai officially supported and supposed to work but they've stopped working or are they unsupported and the hack to make them work stopped working?
As of right now, Kia and Hyundai cannot charge on the superchargers in the US. We discovered a hack that made them temporarily work, but after a week they stopped working. We’re assuming Tesla removed the VINs or Kia told Tesla that they weren’t ready for access yet
@@theevgeekpodcast Thanks!
Research a little more, the battery pre-conditionning just needs to be activated and it'll activate automatically when you select a charger in your destination (just saying as an owner of an Ioniq 6). Don't need data for that but it's too bad you can't tell it to do it on demand... you have to plan a route to a charger with the navigation.
TY!
I wonder where those test vehicles will end up. I want to buy the NASA one lol
Same!
Shit video. The guy is complaining that misrepresenting the make/model of his car results in charging error. Duh, you're operating in an unsupported state.
Not a shit video… If you would’ve watched our previous video, you would see that we actually got it to work.
The OP is just sharing information on wider access to chargers. I applaud him for that.
@ thank you!!
Why did you decide to buy a Kia over a Tesla?
So actually, I own a Tesla… My wife owns a EV6. She’s always loved Kia. She’s not a big fan of Tesla and the one large screen. She likes buttons! :-)

Thanks dt😢. Sad on canoo, thought they had a chance. Can’t blame ram, likely don’t have the software talent to compete against the impressive ev brands like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Hyundai, Polestar, and maybe even Ford.
@@rdk3996 agreed… Sad to see Canoo exit… They had a unique vehicle
Seems backwards to do. Just hurts Kia EV drivers who are paying customers.
True!
I charged an EV6 on Tuesday (on V4 post too.) . You need to use the ioniq 5 with the adapter to locatev the station on the map and select the charger to initiate charging. Tesla id's your car by its VIN and if it allows the model to charge it works. Evidently they have removed KIA's Vin list from allowed vehicles.
You may wanna go out and try again… No one is having any luck since about Tuesday or Wednesday
Well..,that didn’t last long!!
No it didn’t!
Thanks for the update!
Sure thing!!
Glad I purchased a Nissan Ariya instead of the Kia/Hyundai
They should get access in a few months
Thanks for watching! Once Kia gets access back we will let you know! In the meantime, the Lectron NACS adapter will work flawlesly for Kias/Hyundais.
