I also like the look and the sound of the EX30 and we have ours. Unfortunately we are having a loads of issues. All intermittently which makes it really annoying as you cannot rely on the car. In the first month we have had the following:
Difficulty connecting to infotainment system
Fails to charge overnight on programmed charging, despite app and car showing the pre-set times
Blistered key fob - unable to start or lock the car
Intermittent proximity locking - not always able to unlock the car
Warning notice - failed driver aidsSat Nav search failure
Sat nav map rotating around the curser
Random dropping of all pre-set settings - driver preferences, overnight charging times
Clock shows random times
Phone is not linking to car - see it on screen but cannot use it to speak through car
Speakers not working

Anybody else had any of these issues?

On talking Volvo I was assured that within six months all of these issues would be resolved as they develop the car. Maybe early adopters should be paid a test fee!

I've had mine for about 2 months (twin motor performance Plus) and have had a number of 'niggles'.
My software is on ver 1.3.1 and an update to ver 1.4 has just been launched so will be available to the dealers very soon.

Have a look at the EX30 forum ( https://www.ex30forums.com/index.php?&sid=206e... )
And also the forums on FaceBook where you will find a lot of useful information.

Regarding your home charging - set the current limit to 'ON', set the slider to 32amp and leave it at that - it works!!

I'm enjoying mine and it drives rather well!!

A shame modern EV cars all seem to have buggy software.
Our MG is the same, The wife wanted one of these.
