Did you know that there are two ways to charge your Opel Corsa-e? You can either use a typical wall plug or a charging station. However, in situations where you're on-the-go, using a public charging station is recommended since a wall plug may not be enough. The speed at which your electric vehicle charges is determined by the type of charging station or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) you're using, as well as your car's maximum charging capacity. Refer to the chart below for a complete list of charging alternatives for your Opel Corsa-e and the estimated amount of time it will take to fully charge the battery from empty.
Europe
In Europe, the process of charging an electric vehicle (EV) can vary depending on the country due to the different power connections used. While some countries make use of 1-phase connections, others primarily rely on 3-phase connections. For an Opel Corsa-e, various charging methods are available, as represented in the table below. Nevertheless, it is important to note that certain charging modes may not be accessible in some countries. It is recommended to inquire with your local EV charging networks to learn which options are available to you in your area.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)
The efficiency of fast charging is paramount in increasing the distance you can travel with your electric vehicle by quickly adding the optimal range. After reaching 80% state of charge, the charging power notably decreases, making conventional fast charging less effective beyond this limit. The charging station utilized as well as the EV's maximum charging power determine the speed of the charging process. Below is a detailed table outlining fast charging for the Opel Corsa-e.
Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
