FAQ

Battery & charging

How is the Rocks battery charged?

The Rocks's 5.5 kWh battery can be charged to 100% in around 4.0 hours via any standard household socket. The three-metre charging cable is permanently stored in the car and can be easily and conveniently retrieved from the passenger door pillar. Opel also offers an adapter for charging at a public charging station1.

At what outdoor temperatures can the Rocks be charged?

The batteries in the Rocks like it warm. In principle, they can be charged in a temperature range from -5 to 53 degrees Celsius.

Does the Rocks offer a braking recuperation mode to feed energy back into the battery?

Yes, the Rocks has an energy recovery system that works when braking or releasing the accelerator to help maximise range. It operates at an optimum level and does not need to be adjusted.

What does the turtle indicator light / turtle mode stand for?

The turtle symbol indicates that the performance of the Rocks is limited due to a very low battery charge level and/or very low outside temperatures. The vehicle is still perfectly safe to drive and in most cases full power can be restored by simply recharging the battery.

What happens to the battery at the end of its life cycle? What do I have to do then?

Opel/Stellantis has a defined circuit for recycling the battery, which is part of the service offered to customers. This circuit is already in operation today and is used for previous generations of the Group's electric vehicles. The batteries are collected for recycling or reprocessing by an authorised service provider.

Are the old batteries recycled again?

Yes, Opel/Stellantis already has a working concept to take back and recycle EV batteries from all points of sale throughout Europe, thanks to a partnership with SNAM. The SNAM recycling rate exceeds the legal requirement of 50% and was 70% in 2018.

* The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. This WLTP procedure replaces the European drive cycle (NEDC), which was the test procedure used previously. Due to more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured under the WLTP are, in many cases, higher compared to those measured under the NEDC. The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as: specific equipment, options and format of tires. Please contact your dealer for further information. For more information on WLTP click here.

 

** The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures mentioned are determined according to the new test procedure WLTP and the relevant values are translated back into NEDC to allow the comparability with other vehicles. Please contact your dealer for the latest information. The values do not take into account in particular use and driving conditions, equipment or options and may vary depending on the format of tires. For more information on official fuel consumption and CO2 emission values, please read the guideline "Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions of new passenger cars" freely available in all point of sales or at [example for France : ADEME - Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Énergie (Éditions, 2 square Lafayette, BP 406, F-49004 Angers Cedex 01) or http://www.carlabelling.ademe.fr/.]

 

*** The range and electric consumption figures mentioned comply with the WLTP test procedure, on the basis of which new vehicles are type approved from 1 September 2018. They may vary depending on actual conditions of use and on different factors such as: speed, thermal comfort on board the vehicle, driving style and outside temperature. The charging time depends in particular on the power of the charger on board the vehicle, the charging cable and the type and power of the charging station used.
