Vauxhall Vivaro-e (2020)

Overview

The workhorse Vauxhall van arrives in Vivaro-e BEV form. Perhaps not surprisingly, given Vauxhall's current ownership, its BEV credentials are very similar to the Citroën ë-Dispatch and Peugot e-Expert vans, offering well over 100 miles of range, even when laden. While those familiar with modern BEV range in cars may see this as a little modest, this covers the daily mileage of countless van routes. 100kW DC rapid charging certainly helps offer flexibility for those days where the van must go further.

Charging Details

Charging time for a Vauxhall Vivaro-e

The table below shows the estimated time to charge your Vivaro-e from empty to full. For rapid charging, we show the time to charge from 20% - 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery.

* Based on Pod Point estimates, charging rates can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.

Connector type and charging rates

You can charge your Vauxhall Vivaro-e with a Type 2 connector at home, work or at a public charging point. There is also a CCS connector for rapid charging.

Battery

Environmental impact

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2019 to calculate the expected grams of CO₂ emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
