Vauxhall Electric Cars UK 2025: Corsa, Mokka, Grandland & EV Range Guide
Source: Stellantis Media Centre
Vauxhall has been a fixture of the British car industry for over a century. Now, as part of the Stellantis Group, the brand is bringing that familiar approach into the electric age.
Initially, Vauxhall had a goal of becoming fully electric by 2028, but that was dropped earlier this year. Instead, relying on its “multi-energy” strategy (which includes PHEV hybrids, BEVs, and combustion engines) until consumer demand changes. That being said, the Ellesmere Port factory has been converted into Britain's first plant dedicated solely to electric vehicle production, securing jobs whilst producing vehicles for the UK market.
Whether you need a compact city car, a family SUV, or an electric van, Vauxhall's 2025 electric lineup offers practical options that prioritise value, usability, and everyday comfort.
Vauxhall's Electric Strategy
Vauxhall's approach centres on making electric driving easy and affordable. The brand uses Stellantis' eCMP or STLA platforms across the range, providing:
250-435 miles of range (WLTP) depending on the model
100kW fast-charging reaching 80% in approximately 30 minutes
Connected navigation with over-the-air updates
Consistent driving experience across models
This platform consistency means moving from a petrol or diesel Vauxhall to electric feels familiar - the driving position, controls, and ownership experience remain intuitive.
Electric Vauxhall UK models are cost-effective through salary sacrifice. With 3% Benefit-in-Kind rates for 2025/26 and low running costs, they can be a sensible financial choice for employees.
Vauxhall's Current Electric Lineup
With nine passenger models available, Vauxhall's electric range covers compact city cars to spacious nine-seat people carriers. The good news is that they are all eligible under the new government Electric Car grant! The Electric Car Grant is a £650 million government scheme to support the transition to zero-emission vehicles and incentivise sustainable car manufacturing. This represents the UK's most significant electric vehicle incentive since the original Plug-in Car Grant ended in June 2022.
“We welcome the support of the Electric Car Grant for every electric model in the Vauxhall line-up - including those manufactured here at our Ellesmere Port plant - and hope this will enable more British motorists to enjoy the benefits of switching to electric.”
