- Opel has released another electric car to help kiwis kick their petrol habits, and it's called a Mokka-e; a great looking, decent value, European EV.

Well done Gavin, you deserve the recognition.
Congrats on the sustainable business award!
Thank you!
Congratulations on the award, you deserve it not only for the cars but also for the boat and buses.
The Mokka-e is the fastest of the Mokka family, but is slow because it needs to be distinguished from the Grandland PHEV. Which only starts at 160kW, but is significantly heavier.
Congratulations on the award. Well deserved!
Thank you so much 😀
Really enjoy your EV videos. Thanks for taking the time to share with us :)
In AU I am one of the many people who just charge their EV from a granny charger. Done charging for months this way and never run dry. Whenever you are home you just charge up. $3500 is a lot of cost that some drivers don't need to spend on top of buying an EV.
That's another good review thanks Spud, and congratulations on your award.
The tech in the ultimate version of this is absolutely amazing, I bought my girlfriend one picked it up with 1 mile on the clock got rid of it with 1000 miles on, absolutely horrendous range, drove 57 miles and used 85% of the battery, 60mph in eco, freezing with no heating on and using regen breaking when stopping 😳 also cost more to run than the BMWs I have had in the past and the one I have replaced this with
Congrats Gav, you're awesome - mega videos, for a great cause. Don't let it get to your head tho. :D
Those licence plates are quite funny in Norwegian. That O looks like our letter Ø which means for a Norwegian it translates to: "The sh*t".
Did my first chargenet charge just a couple hours ago, just to try it. It's a good option, only one stall in Bulls though.
Exceptabull...

Congratulations on your award well deserved.
I'd love to see a "GT" version of this. The looks are good. Pair it with a dual motor :)
When I dropped off the car, I was told that a higher performance version is coming soon! -Gav
@@EcotricityNZ 2023 GSe 115 kw 156 hp new sport chassi and new steering.
Congrats on the awards!
Any chance in near future you will test drive vw id4? Thanks
The interior looks very "20th century built-to-a-budget model", compared to the EVs coming out of China. And not in a good way. The camera must have distorted the shots of the exterior, because that looks like nothing special either. But congrats on the award, and keep up the good work!
Hi Gav. What was / is the calculator tool you used around the 9:53 mark?!
Howdy! They've changed the layout a bit, but it's here: www.homechargingstations.com/electric-car-range-calculator/
Nice! I own a Mokka, really nice car. BTW - you have now new prime minister who does not support clot shots?
Timers and percent limiters for home charging? Remote app?
Nifty wee thing - the car - not the Spudologist. But all those shiny orange and piano black trims are total sticky (& possibly kids' jammy sandwich) fingerprint magnets.
Congrats on the award! Mocha-E looks ok but my toothbrush has more power
Ah German car = indicator on the left…
congratulations on the award!
Who did you borrow the suit from?
How VERY dare you. 😅
Hey Gavin - Are there any affordable EVs out there that actually have good ground clearance? Say 230mm? I really really like the Rivian but it's so expensive. And the tesla model 3 is 140mm and scrapes all over the place on everything...
Hi Peter, that is an excellent question. I thought perhaps the MG ZS EV would be good but it seems on only have a ground clearance of 170mm, however I did a bit of searching around and found that many of the Audi e-tron models with adjustable suspension can be raised up to 223mm with "off road" mode if that helps. -Gav
The red accents should be blue!!!.💕🇳🇿🇺🇦
Enjoy the vids but nit sure why you don’t evaluate the primary systems in evs.
The huge issue with a lot of the new evs is lack of systems integration and ability to update over the air or even at dealer firmware and vehicle systems
Similar to buying first android phones where you could not update operating system or download apps.
Huge issue when problems are identified with drive train, Battery system or car systems. Will obviously result in huge depreciation as these cars are basically “throw away” vehicles
You expend a lot of energy bragging that you are Dutch so the only thing that matters is the original purchase price. Most Dutch I know are a lot smarter than that and look at value for money or total cost of ownership which you are completely ignoring
Gas car! We burn petrol in NZ last time I checked it’s a liquid 🤓
opel fajny tylko po 3000 km stellantis nie ma chęci do naprawić nie wiem jak za granicą , ale w Polsce to dramat dwa miesiące trwa naprawa i nadel nic . Nie polecam opla mokka a szczególnie jego serwisu .
Cool.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Yes if your about 90 🍺😂😂😂
Its Apple Carplay and Android Auto ^^
I like to mix it up. Keeps the viewer on their fingers. Or is that toes?
Opening a video saying this car has 363 km of range is so misleading and wrong, especially for an EV channel.
That's the official WLTP tested figure, not my opinion. -Gav
By the looks it doesn't have rear air vents for passenger's nor does it have electric adjustable drivers seat. Such a shame as for the money it costs you would expect it to have these things! The BYD and MG have these things and are much cheaper so I don't think this Mokka-e is value for money.
If I can give you some good advice...Buy a BYD or a MG because you should always have a regret...
Well my mokka e sri nav premium looks awesome.. But its an unreliable, badly made pile of turd. Sad times 36 Months to go🎉
Yet no matter how good it is, it still has the truckload of EV drawbacks. We're still 10 years from EVs being practical for anyone except the zealots
Not German eng anymore.Mokka is build on PSA platform so this is French Eng not German.All current Opel models are French now
