AVWWG - Vauxhall Mokka-e EV deliveries start in April 2021 - Update

As you may know, Vauxhall is the English Opel or you could say that Opel is the German Vauxhall. Anyway you put it, the Vauxhall Mokka is a platform mate to the Opel Corsa which are now both available in "e" versions aka EV or battery-electric vehicles. I chose the Vauxhall to write about due to it's interesting design. The Corsa is nice, but more traditional looking. So the dash pic will have the controls on the "right" side as is the case for all cars made for the UK. As a result, the Mokka-e comes to you straight from the Another Vehicle We Won't Get (AVWWG) files. While I'm focusing on the EVs, the Mokka and Corsa are all-new with new gas and diesel engines as well. Some of you may remember that Opel/Vauxhall used to be a part of GM, but was sold several years ago to the PSA Group (which also makes the Peugeot and Citroen vehicles, among others). From a design point of view, it looks like the sale was a good one for Vauxhall. The new Mokka-e features a small electric motor that puts out about 140 hp and lots of torque, The Mokka-e has a 50kWh lithium-ion battery pack that is good for about 200 miles in Euro testing. These stats are sufficient for the Mokka-e and its intended city usage. Also, remember that the Mokka-e is not a huge car, so... Pricing for the base Mokka-e starts at around 32,000 Pounds which converts to roughly $50k. Not cheap, but the price includes the UK's value added tax which can be substantial. Peugeot is considering a return to the US market so we might see either the Mokka-e or Corsa-e in a few years. If they do, let's hope for more power and range and the Vauxhall look with the dash on the left. Could happen. For more info about the various permutations of the Mokka, features, tech, and full pricing in the media release after the "read more" jump. As an added side note, the Opel Corsa-e recently won the "Golden Steering Wheel" award for 2020. 

Update: It gas been reported that the first batch of Vauxhall's Mokka-e EV have sold out, much to the surprise of Vauxhall Officials. Yes, folks will buy EVs especially good-looking ones.
