Volvo Moves Up EX30 Ship Date to Slow Falling Sales in the U.S.

Volvo has pushed the long-awaited EX30 EV back a few times, but it’s now having to reverse that trend as it sees slipping sales in the United States. The automaker recently announced that it would move initial EX30 deliveries up from summer 2025 to December of this year.

Earlier this year, Volvo announced a delay for the EV, saying that the global automotive landscape had shifted, making it more challenging to sell electric models. Additionally, changes in U.S. import rules placed heavy tariffs on Chinese-built vehicles, impacting Volvo’s parent company and the EX30.

Volvo said it would expand EX30 production to a facility in Belgium, from which it will deliver vehicles destined for the United States. Jim Nichols, head of Product and Technology Consumer Offer, said, “Our customers and retailers have been patient, and we think bringing over this small volume right now is a great opportunity to build the momentum when more volume will come from Ghent (Belgium).”

We don’t yet know how many EX30s Volvo plans to deliver at first, but it confirmed that only the more expensive twin-motor variant would be available at first. It starts at a little over $46,100 after destination, around $10,000 more than the base single-motor version. The automaker also said that dealers would receive demo vehicles but noted that its primary focus is on filling reservations for people on the list.
