All about the Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh
Pricing
The Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh has a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £31,490 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £32,445. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh is 100 kW (134 hp). The maximum torque is 192 lb-ft. The Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds. The top speed is 93 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh has a total capacity of 50 kWh. The usable capacity is 46.3 kWh. An estimated range of about 180 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 125 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 270 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 5 hours. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 7 hours 30 minutes and a charge rate of 24 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 23 hours 45 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 101 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 78 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 125 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh is about 257 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 157 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 370 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 171 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Vauxhall Corsa Electric 50 kWh emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
Preceding model
The model shown on this page is the successor of the Vauxhall Corsa-e, which was available to order from December 2021 until October 2023.
The previous model was £1485 more expensive, had similar range, 7% faster acceleration and was similar in energy consumption.
