Opel Mokka Electric gets new name and more efficient drivetrain

The Opel Mokka-e is the next Stellantis model to receive its more efficient motor and battery combination. We also can’t call it the Mokka-e anymore because Opel has changed its naming scheme and is now giving its EV models the ‘Electric’ suffix.

Like the Peugeot e-208, e-308, and the Opel Astra Electric, the Mokka Electric is getting Stellantis’ new-generation electric drivetrain for compact vehicles.

It features a 115 kW (156 hp) electric motor on the front axle, and a 54 kWh 400 V battery, giving a healthy boost both in power and range (136 hp and 50 kWh previously).

More range, same charging speed

In fact, the more efficient drivetrain allows the Mokka Electric to reach a WLTP range of 406 km, which is a big increase compared to the previous 338 km. Average power consumption on paper has dropped to 15,2 kWh per 100 km.

The Mokka Electric accelerates from 0 to 100 km/hour in less than ten seconds and reaches a limited top speed of 150 km/hour.

The charging capacity of the Opel Mokka Electric has remained unchanged: up to 11 kW via AC charging, and up to 100 kW via a DC fast charger, allowing the battery to fill up to 80% in 30 minutes.

No release date for the updated Mokka Electric has yet been announced, nor if the enhanced drivetrain comes with a price increase.

Fully electric by 2028

Opel wants to have an electrified version of each model by 2024 before becoming a fully electric brand in Europe by 2028.

Currently, only the Crossland doesn’t have an electrified version, with the Grandland only having a plug-in hybrid and no fully-electric variant. Insignia production has stopped production.

As for the commercial vehicles, only the Opel Movano is yet to be electrified, but the technology is available, as the Fiat e-Ducato proves.
