Vauxhall has slashed the cost of its Corsa Electric, Astra Electric and Astra Sports Tourer Electric models to help increase the ‘accessibility of its electric vehicles’.
The brand’s Corsa Electric Design now starts at £29,045 – significantly less than the £32,445 required before this price change – while the long-range version, which brings up to 248 miles between charges, now starts at £30,440. It follows on from the introduction of Corsa Electric Yes model which is priced at £26,895.
James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “The new pricing structure on Corsa Electric and Astra Electric is the latest in a number of measures we have taken to democratise access to electric vehicles – including becoming the first brand in the UK to offer an electric and petrol hybrid car for the same list price with new Frontera.
In addition, Vauxhall’s Plug & Go offer includes a free Octopus Energy Ohme Pro wallbox – and installation – when purchasing a car online. If a buyer cannot take the offer, then they can opt for a £675 credit with Octopus to use public charging instead.
