Advantages of Switching to Electric Cars

If you're looking to make the switch to quiet, emissions-free driving, you've come to the right place. Opel is committed to e-mobility - every single one of our models is now available with a fully electric drivetrain.

Driving electric means less local pollution, so cleaner air in the city. There are other benefits - easier access to inner cities and free street parking while you charge.

No need to compromise on choice! All our cars are available with 100% electric drivetrains. Choose the one that’s right for you.

Check how far you can get based on your vehicle, weather conditions and driving style.

Yes. If you buy an electric car from Opel, it comes with an 8-year (or 160.000 km, whichever comes first) warranty. This covers you for any faults with the battery, plus guarantees that you will have at least 70% of its original capacity.

No. To maintain your battery health, it's recommended - for daily use - to charge to max 80%. The only exception is the New Frontera-e, which we recommend to charge up to 100% once a week since it has an LFP battery. If the majority of the driving you do is urban short distances, you'll find you won't need to charge very often at all - maybe once or twice per week, depending on how much you use the car, how you drive and other factors that may impact on the battery performance. However, if you're going on a long journey, it is a good idea to make sure you have as much charge in the battery as you can before you set off - so get it up to 100% in these cases.

Just as it is with internal combustion cars, factors like how many people are in the car and how much extra weight you're transporting do affect performance. Again, just as with any car, how and where you drive does too. Driving fast on hilly terrain will use up more energy. What is specific to electric car batteries are extremes of temperature. Very cold weather affects your battery performance - plus you're likely to be using features like heating (seats, steering wheel, windscreen and regular climate control). The same goes for very hot weather. These are things to bear in mind when planning a longer trip, but they don't affect day-to-day usage too much.

If you have somewhere to park your car off the road and you can fit a wallbox, it's a good idea, because it it's convenient and does shorten the charging time, but public charging or even from a domestic plug (trickle charging) also works.

Yes. You will need to use public chargers for this. Head over to our Charging and Range page for more details on this, but many people manage without difficulty and it's getting easier all the time, as more and more public charging facilities are added.

In 2026, you can benefit up to €9,000 in Government grants when purchasing a new electric vehicle. You also benefit from free road license for the first 5 years, as well as savings on fuel costs.

No. They are cheaper to maintain because there are fewer moving parts and less mechanical engineering, That means no oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust system, no timing belt. Additionally, brake wear is lower thanks to regenerative braking. Over the long term, you can expect your maintenance bills to go down.

Yes it is. If you charge at home, you'll notice a huge difference - around one third of the cost per km that you would pay for petrol or diesel. Even if you're using public chargers (7kw or 11kw), you'll be paying significantly less for your "fuel".

Yes you can. As with any car towing extra weight, it will impact on your vehicle's battery range.

Powerful. Efficient. 100% Electric.
