Recommended equipment for a Opel
Based on the most common Opel configuration, Type 2 plug and single-phase charging. Every model page refines it by version.
At home, on a reinforced socket
The simplest way to charge every night: a Green'up socket fitted by an electrician, much safer than a household socket, with the 16 A cable of your Opel.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Opel accepts three-phase power: this 32 A Type 2 cable uses its 7 kW on 11 and 22 kW chargers.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Opel charges in single phase, up to 7 kW: this Type 2 cable is all it needs on any charger, in town or at home.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Opel has a Type 1 inlet: this Type 2 / Type 1 cable connects it to public chargers and to wallboxes with a Type 2 socket.
A wallbox at home
A 22 kW three-phase wallbox uses the 7 kW of your Opel and will keep up with your next car.
A wallbox at home
A 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, the most your Opel accepts at home, with smart control to charge at off-peak rates.
Good to know about charging a Opel
Opel electric and plug-in hybrid models have a Type 2 plug; only the first-generation Ampera uses Type 1. Many charge at 7.4 kW single-phase as standard, with an optional 11 kW three-phase charger: check your version before choosing a wallbox.
- Frontera: 7 kW with the 44 kWh battery; with the 54 kWh one, 7.4 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase depending on the version. The 44 kWh version goes from 20 to 80% in 3h36 on a 7.4 kW wallbox.
- Mokka-e: 7.4 kW as standard, 11 kW as an option. Corsa Electric (2023), Astra Electric and electric Grandland: 11 kW; 2019 Corsa-e: 7.4 kW.
- Grandland plug-in hybrid: 3.7 kW for the 2024 version, 3.3 or 6.6 kW for earlier ones. Astra hybrid: 3.7 kW.
- Combo-e, Vivaro-e, Zafira-e Life and Movano-e vans: 7.4 kW single-phase.
A 2024 Grandland hybrid charges at full power on a Green'up reinforced socket: 3h15 from 20 to 80%. For a single-phase electric model, a 7.4 kW wallbox is enough; an 11 kW wallbox only helps three-phase versions, with a three-phase meter.
