Opel Mokka Electric with a range of 406 km

In order to attract a larger number of new potential customers and retain existing ones, Stellantis‘ first move is to increase the range of existing and new cars. One of them is the 2023 Opel Mokka Electric with a range of 406 km.

The Mokka Electric is powered by a more powerful front-mounted electric motor with 154 hp (115 kW) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. That should propel the car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 10 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 93 mph (150 km/h).

The Peugeot E-308 was presented in September, while the Astra Electric arrived in November, and both models have a 54 kWh battery. With a usable capacity of 51 kWh, the Mokka Electric now has a 20 percent longer range. Using a 100kW DC fast charger, the battery is charged to 80 percent in about 30 minutes. Also, energy consumption was reduced to 15.2 kWh per 100 kilometers traveled.

It should also be noted that Opel recorded an increase in demand for its cars, especially the Mokka, which was the best-selling electric car in its category in Germany in the past two months.
