Overview

The Opel Combo Electric Life 50 kWh (2021-2024) is an all-electric front-wheel drive minivan. It came out in 2021. Opel stopped making the 50 kWh in 2024 and replaced it with the Opel Combo Electric Life 52 kWh (2024-...). You can still find Opel Combo Electric Life 50 kWh (2021-2024) on the used car market, with prices starting around €25,485.

The Opel Combo Electric Life 50 kWh (2021-2024) has a 50 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 233 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 19.9 kWh per 100 km (or 5.03 km per kWh) — ranked №726 out of 824 electric vehicles.

Before 2024, Opel used alternative naming conventions for its electric models. The Opel Combo Electric was previously called the Opel Combo-e.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Opel Combo Electric Life 50 kWh (2021-2024) achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 11.7 seconds (placing it at №95 out of 118 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 135 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 100 kW (134 hp) and a torque of 260 Nm.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Opel Combo Electric Life 50 kWh (2021-2024) achieves a real-world range of 233 km, placing it at №282 among 334 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Opel Combo Electric Life 50 kWh (2021-2024) in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 7.4 kW, resulting in approximately 34 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 100 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use our EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.
