Opel charging cost and calculator

The spot price changes every 15 minutes and the night-time network fee is lower than the daytime one. The calculator prices every 15 minutes of charging at the final price of that time and finds the cheapest continuous slot before the charging window ends.

Example: a Mokka 50 kWh uses 7.1 kWh from the battery for a 40 km drive. With a 12% charging loss, charging takes 8 kWh from the meter. Charging the battery from 20% to 80% takes 31 kWh from the meter, or just over four hours at 7.4 kW and under three hours at 11 kW. 7.4 kW, though, needs a 32 A single-phase supply — from a regular 3×16 A wallbox a single-phase Mokka gets 3.7 kW and the same charge takes nearly eight and a half hours.

The Mokka, Corsa, Combo, Zafira-e Life and Frontera 44 kWh charge from a single phase at 7.4 kW as standard, or from three phases at 11 kW as an option. The Astra and Grandland charge at 11 kW, the Grandland at 22 kW as an option.

Battery and consumption data for the models come from EV Database.

It depends on the day, because the spot price changes every 15 minutes. The calculator shows today’s and tomorrow’s cheapest time from the published prices. At night the Võrk 2 and Võrk 4 network packages have a lower network fee.

The Mokka and Corsa have a single-phase 7.4 kW charger as standard; the three-phase 11 kW charger was an option. The Mokka GSE and Corsa GSE charge at 11 kW. If you are not sure, choose the 7.4 kW variant — then the calculator does not allow more than the car can take.

The Astra and a Mokka or Corsa with the 11 kW charger charge at up to 11 kW, so a 22 kW wallbox adds no speed. The Grandland charges at 22 kW only with the optional charger. A Mokka or Corsa with the single-phase charger charges at up to 7.4 kW: it gets 3.7 kW from a 3×16 A wallbox and 7.4 kW from a 22 kW (3×32 A) one.

Yes. The price is the final price: spot price, seller’s margin, network fee, electricity excise, renewable energy fee and VAT. You can choose your own package and contract in “My settings”.

No. At a lower current charging takes longer, but the kWh are the same and the calculator looks for a longer cheap window. With a small main fuse (for example 20 A), a lower charging current leaves room for the rest of your home. You can set the charging current (5–32 A) in the calculator. An electrician can tell you what suits your main fuse.
