Charging guide

Home and Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

Are you aware that there are two ways to charge your Opel Zafira-e Life L 50 kWh? You can use a regular wall socket or a charging station. When you're on the go, however, a charging station is the only option for public charging as a wall socket will not suffice. The rate at which your EV recharges is reliant on the type of charging station or EVSE you use, as well as your EV's maximum charging capacity. You can refer to the table below, which provides all the available charging alternatives for your Opel Zafira-e Life L 50 kWh, as well as an estimate of the time needed to charge the battery from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an electric vehicle (EV) across Europe can differ depending on the country. Some European countries mainly use 1-phase connections while others use primarily 3-phase connections. This table below showcases all of the possible Opel Zafira-e Life L 50 kWh charging methods. However, please note that some charging modes may not be available in certain countries. To find out which charging options are accessible in your area, please check with your local electric vehicle charging networks.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Fast charging is crucial in order to increase the range of your journey by adding the most amount of distance in the shortest amount of time. Once the battery reaches 80% capacity, the charging power will gradually decrease. Therefore, a typical fast charge typically won't exceed 80% battery capacity. The speed at which an electric vehicle charges depends on both the charging station being used and the maximum charging power that the EV can handle. The table below provides a detailed overview of how to quickly charge the Opel Zafira-e Life L 50 kWh.

  • 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%
