Smart Mobility for Your Business

Make a brand statement

 

Many businesses are making the switch to electric vans in a move that saves money on fuel and maintenance, cuts tailpipe emissions to zero, reduces downtime and boosts their brand image. There are many government incentives to take advantage of, which help to reduce costs further.

 

As more and more governments pass legislation banning diesel engines in urban areas, operating electric vans makes perfect sense.

Have more questions?
Is there a specific warranty for the battery?
Yes. If you buy an electric car from Opel, it comes with an 8-year (or 160.000 km, whichever comes first) warranty. This covers you for any faults with the battery, plus guarantees that you will have at least 70% of its original capacity.
Do I need to always charge to 100%?
No. To maintain your battery health, it's recommended - for daily use - to charge to max 80%. In fact, this is the default setting for most of our vehicles, which you can overwrite in the app. If the majority of the driving you do is urban short distances, you'll find you won't need to charge very often at all - maybe once or twice per week, depending on how much you use the car, how you drive and other factors that may impact on the battery performance. However, if you're going on a long journey, it is a good idea to make sure you have as much charge in the battery as you can before you set off - so get it up to 100% in these cases.
What factors affect electric car battery performance?
Just as it is with internal combustion cars, factors like how many people are in the car and how much extra weight you're transporting do affect performance. Again, just as with any car, how and where you drive does too. Driving fast on hilly terrain will use up more energy. What is specific to electric car batteries are extremes of temperature. Very cold weather affects your battery performance - plus you're likely to be using features like heating (seats, steering wheel, windscreen and regular climate control). The same goes for very hot weather. These are things to bear in mind when planning a longer trip, but they don't affect day-to-day usage too much.
Do I need to install a wallbox?
If you have somewhere to park your car off the road and you can fit a wallbox, it's a good idea, because it it's convenient and does shorten the charging time, but public charging or even from a domestic plug (trickle charging) also works.
I don't have off-street parking. Can I still own an electric car?
Yes. You will need to use public chargers for this. Head over to our Charging and Range page for more details on this, but many people manage without difficulty and it's getting easier all the time, as more and more public charging facilities are added.
What happens if I run out of charge?
It's extremely unlikely. That's the first thing to say. You will be given plenty of warning that you're running low and your app will locate the nearest charging points to your current location. But, let's imagine it did happen. The good news is that when you buy an electric car from Opel, it comes with our our Electric All-In programme. This features - among other benefits - emergency roadside charging.
Can I benefit from any tax incentives by going electric?
Local content to be added if there are some benefits.
Are electric cars expensive to maintain?
No. They are cheaper to maintain because there are fewer moving parts and less mechanical engineering, That means no oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust system, no timing belt. Additionally, brake wear is lower thanks to regenerative braking. Over the long term, you can expect your maintenance bills to go down.
Is electric charging cheaper than petrol?
Yes it is. If you charge at home, you'll notice a huge difference - around one third of the cost per km that you would pay for petrol or diesel. Even if you're using public chargers (7kw or 11kw), you'll be paying significantly less for your "fuel".
Can I tow a trailer or caravan with an electric car?
Yes you can. As with any car towing extra weight, it will impact on your vehicle's battery range.
