Vauxhall updates Mokka Electric with new 54kwh battery
Vauxhall has introduced a new 54kWh battery on the Mokka Electric, with range increasing to 252 miles – an improvement of 20% over the outgoing 50kWh unit.
Orders for the Mokka Electric with a 54kWh battery will open from March 2023 with first deliveries commencing from the Spring.
Replacing the current 50kWh unit, the new 54kWh battery is also more efficient, requiring just 15.2kWh of electricity to cover 62 miles (100km). It is coupled with a more powerful 156hp electric motor (an increase of 20hp), enabling the Mokka Electric to accelerate from 0-62mph in under ten seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 93mph.
Despite its increased range, the Mokka Electric’s compact battery size and efficient packaging ensures no space is lost in the passenger or luggage compartment.
Supporting up to 100kW rapid charging, the Mokka Electric can be re-charged from 0-80% in just 30 minutes. It also features an 11kW on-board charger as standard, suitable for home charging via a wallbox.
Vauxhall will be an electric only brand in 2028, and already is one of few manufacturers in the UK able to offer fleets and businesses a fully electric variant across its entire Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) model range. With the arrival of the All-New Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric in 2023, Vauxhall customers will have a choice of six fully electric passenger vehicles.
