This car model has been treated with such insignificance that even its passing hasn’t been noted. The dismal July sales numbers were widely noted, but nobody really reported on the model being officially sold out. In fact, we heard the news of the model being officially sold out over a week ago, and yet we’ve barely seen any mention of this pretty much anywhere. However, currently, Mazda is telling customers that the MX-30 is sold out and has no timeline for when new models might come back in stock. We assumed it would expand to other areas, or continue in those areas, given that charging conditions are only getting better, not worse.

Mazda also suggested it could modify battery sizes for various regions.Įurope and California both exceeded Mazda’s claimed “local condition” thresholds, so these two territories got the fully-electric MX-30. Mazda said it planned to offer EV, PHEV, and hybrid models depending on local conditions, such as charger availability and driving distances. In the end, it fell about 10% short of that goal due to production shortages.Īt the time, it seemed the plan was to start EV sales in California and then expand elsewhere. When we drove it last year, Mazda told us its goal was to sell just 560 units in the US in the first model year, all in California – a state which requires manufacturers to sell a certain amount of zero-emission vehicles or face fines. Mazda had modest goals for the MX-30 from the beginning.

But will it even come back next year, or is that the last we’ll see of this EV? And if it is the end of the BEV model – will an upcoming PHEV model fare better? After selling only 8 units last month and 505 in total, the 2022 Mazda MX-30 is now officially sold out in the US.
