Summary
The Opel Corsa Electric GSE is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £32,995. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds, quicker than 63% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 186 miles (300 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 18% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 39th of 67 hatchbacks.
It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (169 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 50.8 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 79 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 203 miles (327 km) at motorway speeds.
No heat pump is listed for this version, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Its UK starting price works out at £177 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).
