What Does Mazda Currently Offer for Electric Vehicles?

 
 

 
 

The new Mazda MX-30 Electric is currently the only Electric Vehicle Mazda has on the market. Let us show you all of the amazing things the MX-30 EV has to offer.

 

1. Performance

To deepen the connection between the vehicle and the driver, Mazda’s all-new electrification E-SKYACTIV technology is designed around human characteristics to deliver impressive handling and a seamless driving experience.

 

Mazda’s new electric G-Vectoring Control Plus delivers a smooth, responsive driving feel to take advantage of the electric motor.

 

The MX-30’s steering wheel paddles and electronic gear selector help provide a more instinctive experience that stays consistent with your everyday driving habits.

 

2. Design

The MX-30 EV has a stunning look while still remaining simple and stylish. The vehicle has a feeling of strength and beauty thanks to the balanced proportions and the “Human Modern” design concept.

 

The MX-30 EV has pillarless freestyle doors that not only enhance functionality but also provide a unique way to experience the vehicle. The driver’s side door and front passenger doors open like any others would, but the rear passenger doors open from the opposite side - outward from the center.

 

100 years ago, Mazda started off as a cork manufacturing company. Now, to introduce the history of Mazda and to incorporate nature into the design of the MX-30 EV, there’s real cork not only integrated into the center console but on the door grip as well. To go along with the natural element of the cork and the ongoing theme of environment and sustainability, 100% recycled PET material and recycled plastic bottle fibers are used in the door trim.

 

Unique design elements like the ergonomically designed gauges and the floating console are pleasing to the eye while also helping the driver keep their eyes on the road.

 

3. Technology

Easily access maps, music, contacts, and compatible apps on the 8.8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

 

Airflow, cabin temperature, heated seats, and the available heated steering wheel can all be controlled with the MX-30’s 7-inch touchscreen display.

 

Immerse yourself in sound with the available 12-speaker premium Bose audio system. It combines the Mazda Harmonic Acoustic speaker layout with an additional center speaker, satellite speakers, and a subwoofer for premium audio quality.

 

The MyMazda App can be used to:

 

- Check battery charge level
- Check vehicle status
- Search for nearby charging stations
- Remotely start or stop battery charging
- Remotely pre-warm or pre-cool your vehicle with climate control

 

4. Safety

The new Mazda CX-30 EV has an abundance of safety features so you can have peace of mind when driving. Injury and damage mitigating brake technology, Smart Brake Support (SBS), adds collision prevention at intersections. The MX-30 EV is designed with rigid body structures to absorb crash energy for excellent collision safety performance.

 

5. Battery

Mounted under the cabin floor is a 35.5 kWh Lithium-ion battery to ensure excellent responsiveness. A single charge provides an EPA-estimated range of 100 miles.

 

Charging at home and on the go is made easy and simple. Charge up at home with the level one 120V charging cable that can be plugged into any household outlet and charge up on the go with the connector that’s compatible with almost all public charging stations.

 

When connected to a level 3 DC fast charger, the MX-30 EV can go from 20% - 80% in an impressive 36 minutes.

 

The battery has a warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles.

What is Mazda’s Plan for the Future of EV?

Mazda is doing its best to address the need for electrification whilst retaining most of its traditional engineering. Mazda plans to have 25% of its global product lines as full battery electric vehicles by 2030. Internal combustion engines (standard non-electric) will still power the other 75% of Mazda’s vehicles, but every new model made will have some form of electrification. Mazda also plans to have more hybrids, plug-in hybrids and all-electric cars.

 
 

 
 

Mazda is looking to improve internal combustion engineering in a slow but sure transition to all-electric. Mazda’s goal is for internal combustion engines to contribute to the reduction of the amount of carbon dioxide that’s released into the atmosphere.

 

Mazda is seeking more exotic solutions and also looking into the idea of utilizing hydrogen, biofuel, renewable fuels, and next-generation biodiesel to power their cars in the future.

 

As for upcoming electric vehicles, we can expect to see an electric CX-60 released in Europe, however that model won’t make it to the US. Instead, we can expect to see its slightly larger brother, the CX-70.

 

These models, along with the CX-80 and CX-90, will be available with either gasoline, diesel, mild hybrid, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid electric power.

 

The CX-60 will have a horsepower of 323 and a torque of 500 Nm making it the most powerful road car Mazda has ever created. This is all thanks to the combination of a 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder gasoline engine, a 100kW electric motor, and a 17.8 kWh battery.

 
 

 
 

Getting Ready for an EV

When purchasing an EV, you’re going to need a place to charge it and a routine for doing so. Here’s how to get ready for an EV, and the tools and equipment needed to set up your at-home charging station.

 

A dedicated 240-volt circuit will be ideal for charging your car. You can get one of these professionally installed for $750 - $1,750. It’s recommended that you install a NEMA 14-50 outlet rather than hardwired charging equipment. You can also plug your EV into any standard outlet if your vehicle comes with the level 1 charging cable.

 

New wiring to charge your EV should only cost a few hundred dollars if your fuse box has the capacity for a roughly 30- to 50-amp dedicated circuit.

 

Charging your EV will cost more or less depending on the time of day you charge it. Money can be saved by setting your car to charge between midnight and 6 a.m., when prices might be 15 cents per kilowatt-hour versus 40 cents at other times.
