Is the Volvo EX30 still too expensive at €380 per month?

Forbidden from ecological bonus, the Chinese-produced SUV relies on leasing to attract customers, but its prices remain high compared to Tesla.
The idea stems from good intentions for Volvo, but how can it compete against Tesla offering a LOA (lease-to-own) of 299 euros per month? Admittedly, the conditions aren’t exactly the same, but the psychological aspect is in full play.
When the American company asks for a down payment of 6,150 euros followed by 35 payments of 299.41 euros, totaling 16,600 euros over the entire period, the Volvo EX30 requires a 5,000 euro deposit plus 36 payments of 380 euros. That makes a total over 37 months, not 36 as with Tesla, amounting to 18,680 euros in total.
No match possible?
After this quick comparison, it’s worth rewinding and asking ourselves one question: are we comparing apples to oranges? Because here, we’re talking about the Volvo EX30 Start, entry-level with a small 51 kWh battery (344 km range) and 200 kW power (272 hp). On the other side, the Tesla Model Y Propulsion offers an additional 100 km of range and a level of equipment that’s incomparable.
And if Tesla doesn’t interest you and you prefer to drive a “French” car, then a Renault Megane E-Tech with all options is also more relevant today.
