Vauxhall Vivaro-e

Vauxhall has released pricing and specification for the Vivaro-e, its first factory-built, fully-electric van, set to launch in the market as more cities of the UK are welcoming and mandating emissions-free vehicles. Vivaro-e is available to order now with first deliveries taking place in October.

British Gas has already declared that is has ordered 1,000 Vauxhall Vivaro-e. This was the largest commercial BEV (battery electric vehicle) order in the UK to this day. 

The all-electric Vivaro-e is going to be available in two trim levels, Dynamic and Elite, two lengths, L1H1 and L2H1, two bodies, Van and Double Cab, and two battery sizes, 50kWh and 75kWh. 

Vivaro-e is based on the EMP2 multi-energy platform with a similar load volume ability as the internal combustion engine Vivaro. Payload is best in class, up to 1226kg, and, uniquely in the market for all-electric LCVs, Vivaro-e is able of towing up to one tonne. 

The electric motor produces 136hp (100kW) with a powerful 260Nm of torque. Two battery sizes are available. 50kW provides 144 miles of all-electric range in WLTP conditions (this includes ½ payload). The larger 75kW battery offers 205 miles of range. With an average yearly fleet mileage of 20,000 miles, both battery sizes can easily cope with the daily weekday mileage of 76 miles. Drivers can choose one of three driving modes, Power, Normal, and Eco depending on their requirement: Increased performance for heavier loads, optimized for daily use, or lowest energy consumption. 

100kW charging capability is available as standard allowing rapid charging of the 50kW battery from zero to 80% in 32 minutes and the larger battery in only 48 minutes. The onboard charger is 7.4kW with three-phase 11kW available as an alternative. 

Connected services are available through MyVauxhall App consisting of remote charging, with the ability to defer charging, and cabin temperature pre-conditioning. 

Vivaro-e continues the Brand’s electrification offensive. With the next all-electric LCV, the Combo-e arriving in 2021, Vauxhall will offer an electrified version of every passenger car and LCV model by 2024.
