The Vauxhall Vivaro Electric is a fully electric commercial van built by Vauxhall. It sits in the mid size electric van segment and uses a traditional panel van body style designed for cargo transport, fleet use, and urban delivery operations.
The van offers two battery options. A 50 kWh pack with up to about 143 miles WLTP range and a larger 75 kWh pack with up to about 205 miles WLTP range. Both batteries sit under the floor so cargo space remains unchanged. DC fast charging reaches 80 percent in about 30 minutes for the 50 kWh version and around 45 minutes for the 75 kWh model using a 100 kW charger. AC charging uses a 7.4 kW onboard charger with an optional 11 kW upgrade for faster wallbox charging.
Pricing sits in the mid to upper commercial EV van range depending on battery size and trim. The van suits delivery fleets, tradespeople, and urban logistics businesses that require zero tailpipe emissions and regular daily routes. Other EVs from the same brand include the Vauxhall Corsa Electric and Vauxhall Mokka Electric. Alternatives include the Ford E-Transit Custom and Mercedes-Benz eVito. Buyers often compare it with the Peugeot e-Expert since both share the same Stellantis platform.
