    Electric Vehicle FAQs

    You can learn more about the electric vehicles from Cawdor Vauxhall by liaising with a member of our team or by viewing our frequently asked questions below. 

    Are electric cars better for the environment?

    ​Most definitely. Unlike a regular car (or even a hybrid or plug-in hybrid vehicle), electric cars produce zero CO2 and NOx emissions, thereby helping to keep air cleaner and reduce the impact on climate change.

    Where can I charge my electric car?

    Your vehicle can be charged at home using a three-pin plug or wall box; at work; or via one of thousands of public connectors located around the UK.

    How long does it take to charge an electric car?

    It depends on the car, the battery size and the charging method. Average charging times (0-100%) for the Vauxhall Corsa Electric take:

    • 16.7 hours – at home, using a three-pin (3 kW) power supply
    • 7.1 hours – at home, using a dedicated fast-charging (7 kW) wallbox
    • 1 hour – when using a fast-charging (50 kW) public access point

    How many miles can an electric car go?

    ​The electric range varies from car to car, and is dependent on the size of the battery – as well as on other factors such as the outside temperature. The Corsa Electric is capable of up to 222 miles, while the Mokka Electric delivers a maximum 209-mile range.
