Thoughts on Vauxhall Mokka Electric 2021?

Apparently the Peugeot offerings are better than the Vauxhall, even though it's the same car underneath.

Only really from a styling perspective, they are way less bland but otherwise build quality is basically the same and they have all of the same shortcomings.

No-one is choosing their EV based on charging rates at various temperatures, especially when home charging is predominantly 7kwh at most.

Indeed. How can two cars be compared on just the charging curve which for most people is irrelevant 99% of the time. Far too much over analysis going on here.

with no access to home charging, I'd say it's not a good idea to go electric.

One of the major points of electric is cheap overnight rate charging. If your public charging only, it will get frustrating sitting at chargers, waiting. Also the cost of public charging can be like 70/80p a kw.... My overnight charging on octopus is like 7p, a tenth of the cost of public charging.

Speaks the thruth

The UK infrastructure in my eyes simply isnt ready for everyone to be going full EV, Hybrids yeah ok thes a different kettle of fish.
Unless you have solar panels in which case the home charging is a massive boon then I'd be looking at a hybrid at most if not just plain old petrol.
IF you do go the route of a home charge tho... I'm sure they were far more affordable than 2k

Around here and the places we go there's maybe 2/3 EV car only parking spaces w/chargers.... and they're pretty much always taken.
I also quite enjoy driving and don't mind random jaunts to far flung places... that could very much dissappear with EV only too.

It can depends on your mileage - if you don’t do much of it and are buying a new car anyway, then it would take a long time to make up the cost of a home charger install through the electric bills alone, if you just used the granny charger at 32p all day instead of 7p overnight.

If you’re doing 10k+ then I agree, but it’s not quite as cut and dry as you make out IMO.
