Opel increases range of electric Mokka car to 406km

Opel has given the electric Mokka, previously known as Mokka-e, a new name and a greater range. The Mokka Electric has a range of 406 kilometers, which is more than the previous version. No prices have yet been announced for the new version.

According to parent company Stellantis the Mokka Electric has 20 percent more range than its predecessor, which at the time had a range of 338 km on paper based on the WLTP standard. The greater range is partly achieved by a larger battery pack of 54 instead of 50 kWh.

According to the manufacturer, there is also a more efficient drivetrain. The battery and electric motor of the new Astra Electric are now also used in the Mokka Electric. The electric motor is slightly more powerful than that of the previous version of the electric Mokka: 115kW or 156hp compared to 100kW for the older model.

Charging at a fast charger is possible with a maximum of 100kW; in that case, the battery must be charged to 80 percent in half an hour. At a public charging station and alternating current, charging takes place at a maximum of 11 kW. According to Opel, the average energy consumption of the car is 15.2kWh per 100km based on the WLTP standard.
