I'm the owner of a 2023 Mazda MX-30 GS as my first EV because I like the look & finish and the way it handles. Price wise, it's pretty good as Mazda offers a 4000$ rebate and another 12000$ in rebates from the federal & provincial governments. I have to say I use it as a second vehicle to do all my shopping/groceries/meetings etc... all within 40 km from my house and I won't use it during winter time (October 31 to may 01). I understand the range is said to be 160 km but I've done more than 180 km on rural roads & city roads and it was showing15% left! But if you're looking for a primary vehicle for all year around, you should consider an EV with a 360 km minimum range knowing that in winter time when it's really cold (-20c +), you'll be using "heating/heated seats/heated streering etc..." which will have a negative impact on the range (minus 40% +) and it will take longer to charge. 😊
Thanks for the kind words. Interesting on the price comparison. Congratulations. It was definitely a fun classic Mazda driving vehicle and I was grateful for the experience.
With the huge discounts on the leftover new/demo models that are now being offered, they are now available for as low as $30K or less. For what it is, a local commuter vehicle, pretty reasonable to get into an EV.
No problem! I had a lot of fun. If you are needing a tone of range (which most aren't) it really is a true Mazda! Great handling and great looking. Congratulations!

Amazing comments! Thank you!
In Denmark this cost 35.930 CAD in basic trim. I'm getting mine MX-30 in 6 days. My first EV and perfect to my needs. Thanks for this video!

Definitely. For the right EV buyer it's a great little option! Really enjoyed it
Nice review James. In NZ there is same problem with charging stations. Also govt has just introduced $76 per 1000 km road user tax.
😮 that is crazy

What exterior color is this? I like this color very much but unsure what this color is?
I believe Mazda calls it Zircon Sand Metallic:). It does look great in real life.
