Summary
Formerly known as the ‘Mokka-e’, the Vauxhall Mokka Electric is Vauxhall’s first mainstream electric compact SUV and evolved from the latest generation of the mainstream Mokka range – this launched in 2021 with bolder styling than its predecessor.
This electric Mokka is front-wheel-drive and powered by a 136 hp drivetrain. Three driving modes are available, Normal, Eco and Sport, and in Normal mode Vauxhall claims a battery range of 201 miles. The car also includes as standard a 100kW fast-charging system to allow battery replenishment to 80% in 30 minutes.
The mainstream Mokka receives generally average reviews, some media expressing surprise that it sells so well despite it being less practical and not as fun to drive as rivals. However the electric version produces more positive responses, the Daily Mirror dubbing it Vauxhall’s best car in years and Carbuyer stating that “it looks great and is designed to feel like a petrol car.”
The electric drivetrain is quiet and refined at higher speeds, while ride quality is highlighted, even on rougher surfaces. However the car’s acceleration is eclipsed by many rivals and its handling considered distinctly average.
The styling also earns praise – the electric model has a slightly changed front-end over the petrol version, to cut drag and increase battery range, and reviewers particularly like the bold treatment.
Minus points include practicality – the Mokka range offers less interior space than rivals and accommodating batteries cuts another 40 litres from the boot.
As of July 2026, the Vauxhall Mokka Electric holds a New Car Expert Rating of B, with a score of 66%. It scores top marks for its low running costs and for having zero tailpipe emissions, but Vauxhall’s new car warranty offering is only average and the Mokka’s safety score is poor.

“The new Vauxhall Mokka-e is a well-judged creation that could well tempt a few regular Mokka customers over to electric motoring, thanks to its respectable range, sensible price and a driving experience that feels altogether conventional.”

“A design revolution outside and an attractive proposition now, too. Granted, it’s not the most practical of small crossovers but, if you’re after a stylish electric runabout for you and your small family, you can now look beyond just Peugeot’s e-2008.”

“The new Mokka-e’s looks steal the headlines, but behind that is a decent all-rounder with good equipment levels, although it’s smaller than rivals so practicality suffers.”

“Apart from the silent running, and having to charge-up rather than fill-up, the driving experience from behind the wheel of the Vauxhall Mokka-e is pretty much the same as the petrol Mokka.”

“The new Mokka is very well equipped on the technology front. The electric Mokka is equally refreshing – almost identical on every front except the instrumentation where it comes with its own displays for EV operation.”

“The Vauxhall Mokka-e is a car that we like, primarily because it’s fun to drive and it’s relatively affordable compared to some EVs. It looks more modern and characterful than the previous Mokka, and although it’s a small car, it’s still reasonably practical.” (Paul Clarke)

“The Vauxhall Mokka-e is a strong introduction to electric motoring. It doesn’t look or feel much different to a petrol Mokka, while its 201-mile range means it could realistically fit into your life without a great deal of effort.”

The Sun
Model reviewed: Mokka and Mokka-e
“Electric cars are smooth and quiet and easy but have a wicked streak — instant torque — which means they can charge off into the distance with a dab of the right foot. I actually preferred the EV to the petrol Mokka, which felt a little crashy on big 18in wheels but otherwise is decent.”

Score: 8 / 10
“With a sparkling design and a whole lot better to drive than its predecessor, the new Vauxhall Mokka-e has a very good battery choice, which will be a superb urban runaround. The interior is well equipped, the dashboard is a breath of fresh air and although the rear seats are cramped you’d squeeze in there just to be on board.”

“Based on comfort and performance, the Mokka-e would be my preference over the regular Mokka. It’s quieter and more refined, and fuel costs would be much lower, too, though insurance is likely to be higher. But you’re looking at a £5,500 premium (approximately) for the electric version.”

As of July 2026, the Vauxhall Mokka Electric has not yet been lab tested by Green NCAP.
The Green NCAP programme measures exhaust pollution (which is zero for an electric car) and energy efficiency. Electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, so the Mokka Electric is likely to score very highly in Green NCAP testing if and when it takes place. Check back again soon.

The Vauxhall Mokka Electric is a very affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
Electrical efficiency (the EV equivalent of miles per gallon for a petrol or diesel car) is good, which helps the Mokka to achieve a 200+ mile range despite a modest battery size. In real-world driving, this should still exceed 150-odd miles so is plenty for everyday needs – although you’ll be stopping fairly frequently on long road trips.
Insurance costs should be affordable, thanks to very low insurance group ratings, while servicing and maintenance costs for the first five years are excellent.
Warranty rating
New car warranty information for the Vauxhall Mokka Electric
| Overall rating | C | 48% |
| New car warranty duration | 3 years |
| New car warranty mileage | 60,000 miles |
| Battery warranty duration | 8 years |
| Battery warranty mileage | 100,000 miles |
Vauxhall’s new car warranty is pretty much the bare minimum offered in the UK, with a duration of three years and a limit of 60,000 miles. Other rivals in the price bracket do better (and in some cases, much better).
In addition to the standard new car warranty, the Mokka Electric has an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.
Warranty on a used Vauxhall Mokka Electric
- If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ Mokka from an official Vauxhall dealership, you will get a minimum six-month warranty included.
- If you are buying a used Mokka from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
- If you are buying a used Mokka from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.
If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
