Vauxhall’s Electric Range Explained
Electric driving is the future of everyday motoring. Vauxhall has made that future accessible to everyone in the UK by building one of the most complete electric line-ups on the market. Whether you want a compact hatchback or a family SUV, there’s now a Vauxhall electric model for you.
At Advance Vauxhall, we believe it’s important to help you understand exactly what’s on offer.
In this blog post, we’ll explain the current electric range, what each model delivers, how far you can drive on a single charge, and what support is available when you make the switch.
Vauxhall’s Move to Electric
Vauxhall is committed to becoming a fully electric brand by 2030. Every new car now includes an electric or hybrid version, supported by the Stellantis electric platform used across Europe.
The aim is to make electric driving affordable, practical, and enjoyable for UK drivers. Each model combines Vauxhall’s reliable build quality with efficient batteries and familiar styling.
Whether you’re new to EVs or upgrading from a petrol model, you’ll find that Vauxhall has an electric car to suit every lifestyle.
The Vauxhall Electric Line-Up
Here’s a quick look at the five key electric models from Vauxhall, available in 2025.
Each model shares the same commitment with a strong range, quick charging, and easy ownership. Let’s look at what each one offers.
Corsa Electric
A great first step into electric driving. The Corsa Electric delivers lively performance with instant power and near-silent operation. Its compact size makes city driving simple, and the 221-mile range covers a full week of commuting for most drivers.
With running costs averaging around £300 a year for home charging (based on 8,000 miles at 30p / kWh), it’s one of the most economical EVs in its class.
Mokka Electric
If you want a small SUV with extra style and height, the Mokka Electric fits perfectly. Its 54 kWh battery can drive up to 252 miles, and rapid charging adds 80 percent power in 30 minutes.
Inside, you’ll find Vauxhall’s “Pure Panel” digital cockpit and premium features such as heated seats and adaptive cruise control.
Astra Electric
For those needing more space, the Astra Electric brings practicality and range. It can travel up to 258 miles on a charge and still retains the familiar Astra design. The driving position is comfortable for long trips, and the boot is generous for a family hatchback.
Grandland Electric
The Grandland Electric moves Vauxhall into long-range territory with a 73 kWh battery capable of up to 435 miles. It’s a strong choice for families or business users who travel often. Expect powerful acceleration, a refined cabin, and top-tier safety technology.
Frontera Electric
Launched in 2025, the Frontera Electric offers the space and versatility of an SUV at an accessible price. Early figures suggest around 248 miles of range and advanced driver-assist features. It’s designed for drivers who want electric efficiency without losing practicality.
Range, Batteries and Charging
Range is often the first concern when switching to electric. The good news is that Vauxhall’s latest batteries are built for real-world performance.
WLTP ratings show what a car can achieve in mixed driving. For example, you can expect about 80–90 percent of the quoted figure even in colder weather or on motorways. That means a Corsa Electric realistically covers 180 – 200 miles, while the Grandland can easily handle 380 – 400 miles between charges.
Charging is straightforward:
- Home charging: A 7 kW wall box adds about 30 miles of range per hour and fully charges overnight.
- Public rapid charging: Adds 80 percent in 25–30 minutes on a 100 kW charger.
- Battery warranty: Every Vauxhall EV includes an 8-year or 100,000-mile battery warranty, guaranteeing at least 70 percent capacity retention.
- How many miles do you drive each week
- Whether you can charge at home or work
- How much space do you need
- Your budget and typical ownership period
Running Costs and Savings
Electric vehicles cost less to run than petrol or diesel cars.
Energy Costs
At the UK average home electricity rates (30p / kWh, Ofgem 2025), driving a Corsa Electric 8,000 miles a year costs about £300.
A petrol Corsa covering the same distance costs roughly £950, based on £1.45 per litre and 55 mpg. That’s a saving of around £650 a year on fuel alone.
Servicing and Maintenance
With fewer moving parts and no oil, clutch, or exhaust, electric servicing can be 30 to 40 percent cheaper than petrol cars (The Car Expert 2025).
Tax and Charging Benefits
EVs pay no road tax until 2025 and will remain cheaper to tax afterward. Many UK cities also offer reduced congestion or parking fees for electric cars.
The £1,500 Electric Car Grant
Through The Electric Car Scheme, you can save up to £1,500 off a new Vauxhall EV when purchased through salary sacrifice. It works like a cycle-to-work scheme and spreads the cost through your gross salary, reducing tax and National Insurance.
When combined with lower running costs, the savings make Vauxhall’s electric range highly affordable to own.

Everyday Practicality
Modern charging networks mean owning an electric car is easier than ever. There are now over 58,000 public charging connectors across the UK (Zapmap Q1 2025).
You can plan trips with apps such as Zapmap or bp Pulse to locate chargers on your route. Most Vauxhall EVs include navigation that highlights available chargers in real time.
If you install a home charger, overnight charging is as simple as plugging in your phone. Wake up each day with a full battery and no need to visit a petrol station.
Why Now Is the Right Time to Go Electric
The technology has matured, the prices have stabilised, and the charging infrastructure keeps expanding. The UK government’s roadmap towards cleaner transport means electric cars will gain more value over the next decade.
By switching to a Vauxhall EV now, you benefit from current incentives, strong resale value, and early access to cutting-edge performance. You’ll also be ready for upcoming low-emission zones and road-tax changes.
