Charging guide

Home and Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

Did you know that you have two options to charge your Opel Zafira-e Life M 50 kWh? You can use either a standard wall outlet or a charging station. However, while on the road, public charging can only be completed using a charging station, as a wall outlet won't suffice. The speed at which your EV charges is contingent on the type of charging station or EVSE you use, as well as your EV's maximum charging capacity. Take a glance at the table below to see all the available charging options for your Opel Zafira-e Life M 50 kWh, including the estimated time required to charge the battery from empty to full.

Europe

Electric vehicle (EV) charging methods in Europe can differ based on the country. Some European countries primarily utilize 1-phase connections to the grid, while others mainly rely on 3-phase connections. The table shown below illustrates all the possible charging modes for an Opel Zafira-e Life M 50 kWh. But please note that some charging modes may not be available in certain countries. It is recommended to check with your local electric vehicle charging networks to confirm which charging options are accessible to you.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Fast charging is essential for increasing the distance of your journey by adding the right amount of range in the shortest possible time. When an electric vehicle (EV) reaches an 80% state-of-charge (SoC), the charging power decreases considerably. Therefore, conventional fast charging usually does not go beyond 80% SoC. The charging time of an EV depends on the charging station 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 M 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%
