Vivaro Combi Electric 50 kWh

The Opel Vivaro Combi Electric 50 kWh is a 7-seat van-based people carrier with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £39,110. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 13.3 seconds, slower than 96% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 112 miles (180 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 485 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 45th of 48 van-based people carriers.

It uses around 2.4 mi/kWh (257 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.4 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 46.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 78 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 119 miles (191 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £350 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for van-based people carriers (£278 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £18,600–£20,900 and a 2025 one at £22,300–£25,400, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 107 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
