Pure-electric Vivaro-e first view
Vauxhall and Opel have launched the 2021 Vivaro-e, which is due to arrive at dealers later this year in both panel van and six-seat double cab guises.
Power comes from an electric motor that produces 134 bhp (100 kW / 136 PS) plus 260 Nm (191 lb/ft) of peak torque. Acceleration figures haven’t been released, but top speed is being limited to a perfectly adequate 81 mph (130 km/h).
Energy is stored in a lithium-ion battery located beneath the cargo space. Interestingly, customers are going to have a choice of either 50 kWh or 75 kWh pack sizes. The smaller one achieves a modest range of 143 miles (230 kilometres) according to the WLTP measure, while the larger alternative increases that total to 205 miles (330 kilometres).
Recharging times naturally depend on the method used. The quickest – a 100 kW DC public facility – can replenish the 50 kWh unit from empty to 80 percent capacity in half an hour. The same operation for the 75 kWh option takes 45 minutes.
Like the combustion-engine Vauxhall Vivaro, the electric model will be available in L1H1 (4.96 m / 16’ 3” long) and L2H1 (5.30 m / 17’ 5”) configurations. In addition, Opel intends to offer a shorter variant measuring 4.61 m (15’ 1”) from bumper to bumper.
With gross vehicle weights of up to 3,100 kg (6,834 lbs), the Vivaro-e boasts an impressive 1,226 kg (2,702 lbs) maximum payload. Significantly, that’s just 130 kg (286 lbs) less than a diesel Vivaro.
Prices have yet to be announced.
