Charging Vauxhall EVs
Vauxhall, like all other car manufacturers, have their own line of electric vehicles to contend with other electric cars on the market currently. But when charging Vauxhall EVs, you’ll need to ensure that you invest in high-quality charging equipment.
Doing so will enable you to get the most out of your Vauxhall electric car and its battery capacity. Don’t settle for anything less than the best in charging equipment when deciding to invest in a Vauxhall EV.

Vauxhall EV & PHEVs Models
Vauxhall currently has 3 commercially available battery electric car models on the market that you can buy. In addition, they also have 1 PHEV model available. Below are these models:
⚡️Vauxhall Corsa-e (50kW battery)
⚡️Vauxhall Mokka-e (50kW battery)
⚡️Vauxhall Vivaro-e (50kW battery)
⚡️Vauxhall Grandland X (13.2kW battery)
When charging your Vauxhall EV, you’ll need to take into consideration not just the battery size but how modern the technology is as well as how new the car is. All these will play a significant role in your overall investment.
Vauxhall EV Cables
A vital factor you’ll need to consider when investing in a Vauxhall, regardless of the model, is the quality of the charging cables that you have. Higher quality charging cables will enable you to charge more efficiently, which will save you time and money.
At Smartly, we have everything you need cable-wise to charge up your Vauxhall. Take a look at our range of compatible cables for Vauxhall EVs:
Vauxhall EV Chargers
Just as, if not more important than the charging cables is the chargers themselves. There are all kinds of chargers you can get installed for your home setup, and the charger you decide to invest in will largely depend on budget and compatibility.
For home charging, we’d recommend going for 7.4kW chargers as they strike a great balance between charging efficiency and value for money. Three phase chargers are better suited for commercial use, unless you have a three phase power supply at home.
We have a selection of 7.4Kw chargers and other, more powerful chargers, such as:
If you are looking for a different kind of charger, or even something such as a fault detection kit, then you can view our comprehensive range by clicking here.
For all the Vauxhall battery electric car models, you can achieve a full charge in:
22 hours using a 3-pin emergency plug.
14 hours using a 3.6kW charger.
7 hours using a 7kW charger.
5-7 hours using a 22kW charger.
For the Grandland X PHEV, you can achieve a full charge in:
6 hours using a 3-pin emergency charger.
4 hours using a 3.6 kW, 7 kW, or 22 kW charger.
Although, due to the way the lithium-ion batteries work in electric battery cars, it can be more efficient and quicker to charge to 80%. For all the Vauxhall battery EVs, you can achieve 80% charge in around:
40 minutes using a 50 kW charger.
20 minutes using a 150kW charger.
A Corsa-e from Vauxhall costs around 16p/kWh to charge at home. That means that a full charge will cost £8.00. At rapid public charging ports it is more expensive, at 30p/kWh to charge until 80%.
A fresh battery is designed to last up to 6 years in a Corsa-e. This is assuming that the battery is well maintained during its full lifespan.
Due to the battery being similar in the Mokka-E as it is in the Corsa-E, it costs £8.00 to fully charge a Mokka-E at home with a price of 16p/kWh. For rapid charging, it’ll cost around 30p/kWh to charge to 80% capacity.
