Mazda has found a unique solution to the MX-30 EV’s short driving range, and it involves the company’s first rotary engine since the RX-8 sports car. The new Mazda MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is a plug-in hybrid with a small single-rotary gasoline engine that serves as a generator to charge the battery pack and allow for longer drives.
Mazda reduced the size of the lithium-ion battery pack, as the R-EV has a 17.8 kWh lithium-ion pack compared with the EV version’s approximately 32.0-kWh pack. This allows it to go a measly 53 miles on a charge per the WLTP. But when the battery is depleted, the 830-cc 74-hp rotary engine kicks in to supply charge while on the move. The Mazda’s 13-gallon fuel tank is larger than other such “range-extender”
The R-EV’s electric motor is also more powerful than the EV version’s, providing 167 horsepower to the front wheels. Mazda claims it will get to 62 mph in 9.1 seconds, which would be roughly equivalent to the already sluggish EV version’s acceleration.
the MX-30 R-EV features steering wheel paddles that offer drivers the ability to adjust the level of regenerative braking at throttle lift off. This allows the driver to tune the amount of regen depending on the driving scenario and driver preference.
The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is equipped with three drive modes that drivers can choose from based on the way they want to use the car: Normal mode, EV mode and Charge mode.
Mazda has evolved the rotary engine throughout its history, the 830cc MX-30 R-EV unit is the smallest capacity rotary to appear in a Mazda production car. It’s the first rotary to feature direct injection, this makes it possible to distribute the air-fuel mixture to the main combustion area and achieve more efficient combustion to improve emissions and fuel economy.
The MX-30 e-Skyactiv R-EV is compatible with AC charging as well as rapid DC charging. Moreover, it can be connected to Type 2 and CCS charging systems. This ability to use rapid chargers is uncommon amongst conventional plug-in hybrid rivals. Using a 36kW charger the battery can be charged from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in 25 minutes, with a three-phase 11kW AC charger the battery can be refilled in approximately 50 minutes, while a single-phase 7.2kW charger will take around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
