Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 35.5 kWh and a net usable capacity of 30.0 kWh, with a 5.5 kWh buffer (15.5%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 355 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 200 km (124 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 15.0 kWh/100 km (4.1 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 54 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 54 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 27 minutes at an average power of 46 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 5–68%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 41 kW over a session lasting about 28 minutes and 47 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 230 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 16 hours and 12 minutes, needing 113 charging stops from 4% to 71%, totaling 3353 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 2 hours and 43 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear corner. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain
The Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv EV has a front-wheel drive system supported by one motor on the front axle.
Suspension

Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking works in two ways: through one-pedal driving, or through the brake pedal using blended braking while coasting.
However, it is not considered full one-pedal driving since, at low speeds, the vehicle will keep rolling until it comes to a stop by itself.Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between five levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 30 kW.
