In the No-Surprise department we find this today: Mazda has pulled the plug on its only all-electric model offered in the United States. The decision to kill off the MX-30 there means it will have lasted only two years in the U.S.
That’s especially so because of the CX-30’s cost. Mazda priced the EV higher than Chevrolet did its Bolt – which offers 417 km of range. In the United States, its prospects were further undermined by the fact it was only offered in California. In 2021, Mazda sold just 181 of them, and in 2022, 324. In the first six months of the year, just 66 MX-30s were sold. Instead of offering all-electric vehicles in the U.S., Mazda says its U.S. strategy will focus on plug-in hybrids. We saw the CX-90 PHEV launched earlier this year with a range of 48 km. A smaller CX-70, with a plug-in variant, is planned for 2024.
