Vauxhall is one of the most recognisable names in British motoring, but it鈥檚 probably fair to say that the brand isn鈥檛 recognised primarily for its cutting edge electric-car technology. And that might not necessarily be fair, because the firm offers an extensive range of all-electric cars. What鈥檚 more, Vauxhall鈥檚 electric car offerings come in a wide range of sizes and types, so there should be an electric car option for all sorts of buyers. Here, we take you through all the electric cars offered by Vauxhall, and explore whether they might suit you.

Vauxhall electric range: current models

Vauxhall鈥檚 electric car range has something for everyone.

Vauxhall Corsa Electric

The Vauxhall Corsa Electric is currently the best-selling small electric car in the UK. And it鈥檚 easy to see why: smart, understated looks, a smartly trimmed cabin, lots of standard equipment and a grown-up feel on the road. Until recently, the Corsa was only offered with one electric drivetrain, which teamed a 134bhp motor with a 50kWh battery to give a driving range of 222 miles. However, it鈥檚 now been joined by a slightly higher spec version, which teams a 154bhp motor with a 54kWh battery for an extended range of 246 miles.

Vauxhall Mokka Electric

The Mokka Electric is similar to the Corsa Electric in both size and stature, but it does its best to be brash and stylish, and to be fair, it does it rather well. Style aside, it doesn鈥檛 offer a great deal more than the Corsa Electric in terms of practicality, equipment or technology, and only has one electric drivetrain to choose from, offering 134bhp with a range of just 209 miles. Still, that should be plenty for most urban commuters. What鈥檚 more, we鈥檙e told it won鈥檛 be too long before a newer, more powerful drivetrain option arrives, which will give the Mokka Electric a range of 252 miles.

Vauxhall Astra Electric

The Astra Electric is the newest car to hit Vauxhall鈥檚 all-electric fleet, with a smart cabin, decent practicality, generous equipment, and a sophisticated driving experience. What鈥檚 more, it also gets the more powerful of Vauxhall鈥檚 two electric drivetrain options as standard, along with the bigger 54kWh battery, and that gives it a maximum range of 258 miles between charges. Estate car fans might also want to note that the Astra Electric is offered in estate form as well as hatchback form, and that makes it one of very few electric estates available in the UK market.

Vauxhall Combo Life Electric

Essentially, the Combo Life Electric is a version of Vauxhall鈥檚 Combo van that鈥檚 been fitted with seats and windows to turn it into a passenger car. Available in two different lengths, the standard one seats five and and takes a massive amount of luggage on top, while the longer version gets seven seats, yet can still carry more stuff than most large estate cars. These days, the Combo Life is only available in electric car form, but it gets the older powertrain with the smaller 50kWh battery, so it鈥檒l only do 174 miles between charges.

Vauxhall Vivaro Life Electric

Like the Combo Life Electric, the Vivaro Life Electric is a van fitted with windows, seats and carpets, albeit a bigger van. But being a bigger van, it鈥檚 even more capacious. For starters, it鈥檒l seat up to nine people in basic Combi trim, where the posher Design and Ultimate trims will seat eight in slightly more comfort. And as you鈥檇 expect, you also get a generous amount of cargo space. However, you鈥檒l only be able to go a short distance. Again, the Vivaro Life Electric comes fitted with Vauxhall鈥檚 smaller 50kWh battery, and with even more metal to lug around than the Combo Life Electric, its range drops to 136 miles.
