The new Opel Astra Electric brings something that changes the way electric vehicles are used – V2L (vehicle-to-load) technology. Thanks to it, drivers no longer have to look for a socket to charge or power external devices. The energy comes directly from the car battery. This means you can charge an e-bike, power an electric grill or even turn on a vacuum cleaner – all via a special adapter that connects to the charging port and turns it into a standard household socket.
The Astra Electric now offers a range of up to 454 kilometers (WLTP), which is about 35 kilometers more than before. With a 58 kWh battery (55 kWh useful capacity) and a 115 kW (156 hp) motor, drivers get more freedom and less worry about charging. When they arrive at their destination, the car turns into a mobile generator with up to 3.6 kW of power – enough to cover most camping or road trip needs.
Opel did not stop only at Astra. Grandland Electric, Combo Electric, Mokka Electric and Corsa Electric come with an integrated bidi-rection charger. Larger models have an 11 kW three-phase charger as standard, while the Mokka and Corsa offer a 7.4 kW single-phase as a base, with a three-phase option available for an additional €700. The Mokka GSE has a special status, which already comes standard with a more powerful charger.
Opel makes the transition to electric vehicles even easier through the “Electric All In” program. Customers get eProWallbox Move for fast home charging, digital e-routes functions, eight-year roadside assistance and battery warranty. With this, Opel clearly shows that electric mobility is not just about buying a car, but a complete support system.
