Opel Mokka Electric: New Battery, More Power, More Range

The Mokka Electric is also getting an update: With the new 54 kWh battery, Mokka Electric drivers can now travel up to 406 kilometers locally emission-free according to WLTP, compared to up to 338 kilometers previously – an improvement of 20%! And it should be especially popular in winter, where, in the worst case, you can now cover around 250 kilometers instead of just under 200. At the same time, electricity consumption drops to 15.2 kWh per 100 kilometers. The new motor produces 115 kW (156 hp) and provides, as usual, 260 Nm of torque.

Opel is also subtly changing the name: "The 'e' becomes 'Electric', which also visually demonstrates the change in battery and drive. The battery, as in all fully electric Opel models, is installed in the underfloor. This means no space is lost in the passenger compartment or luggage area, and the Mokka Electric sits firmly on the road. The Mokka Electric accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under 10 seconds, with the electronically limited top speed being 150 km/h. Depending on preference, Mokka Electric drivers can choose, as usual, between the three driving modes Eco, Normal, and Sport.

DC charging works with up to 100 kW: The Mokka Electric should then be recharged to 80 percent within about 30 minutes. With the 11 kW onboard charger via three-phase AC, it takes about six hours to reach 100 percent, while at the household socket you should expect it to take around 24 hours to reach 100 percent. Also beneficial for the range is the standard heat pump, which can use the generated heat to warm the interior without the need for a conventional auxiliary heater, thus preserving the range.

Currently, twelve electrified Opel models are available, including the complete range of commercial vehicles. By 2024, every model will also be offered in an electrified version, and by 2028 Opel intends to be fully electric according to its own statements.
