Opel electric cars

The longest-range Opel EV on sale is the Opel Grandland Electric 97 kWh, with an estimated 490 km of real-world driving. Every Opel model page shows the full variant-by-variant range breakdown.

The most affordable Opel EV with a current price in our database is the Opel Frontera Electric 44 kWh, from £22,495 (VAT included, UK market). Local pricing differs between Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.

The quickest-charging Opel model is the Opel Combo Electric 50 kWh: an estimated 26 minutes from 10–80% at a powerful DC charger, sustaining about 80 kW. Slower models in the range take longer — each model page lists times at 50, 150 and 350 kW chargers.

Opel has 18 electric model lines in the PlugSphere database, 8 of them currently on sale. Counts update as new models launch and old ones are discontinued.

Like other modern EVs, Opel packs are built to outlast the industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity — fleet telemetry puts average degradation near 1.8–2% a year, so around 80% typically remains after a decade. Opel's lineup in our database uses NCM and LFP chemistry — its LFP packs tolerate the most charge cycles.

Out of warranty, budget roughly €100–180 per kWh plus labour: Opel's packs span 43.8–96.9 kWh in our database, which works out to approximately €4,400–€17,400 for a full pack. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a defective pack is replaced free, and partial module repairs are often far cheaper.

For Opel models with LFP batteries — 2 in our database — yes: LFP chemistry handles daily 100% charging well and it keeps the range estimate calibrated. For the NCM/NCA models, 80% is the kinder daily target. Each model page states which chemistry the car uses.

There is no independent brand-by-brand failure index, but the fundamentals are measurable: Opel covers its packs with the industry-standard 8-year warranty, and EV batteries across all brands show low failure rates with gradual, predictable capacity loss rather than sudden death. Opel uses proven NCM and LFP chemistry across its range. Check each model page for its exact chemistry and battery size.
