I have a Mocca E and after 2months I am glad I chose this model. It drives superbly, is comfortable and all round visibility is good. There are afew things which are annoying. First thing is the use of the shiny plastic in the front, forever cleaning it. Another thing is the lack of space in the boot. Once you have charged the car the charging lead takes up a lot of the available space. I feel that the front seat belts should be adjustable for height is another annoying point. Ther is no 12 volt supply point in the rear of the vehicle, this is very useful for drivers when camping or for a cool box on a day out. I had a Grandland X before this Mocca and it had rear view mirrors which tilted down when reverse is selected, a extremely useful thing to have when reversing in a very tight spot. Not essential I know but being disabled I found it helpful. Over all I am pleased with my choice and for those who like a bit of Vip when pulling away or entering a motorway from the access lane the Sport mode is great.
thankyou for the honest review, were about to place an order for a mokka-e ultimate and other the the paid or reviews by people who only just got the car its nice to see a hands on review to see all the bits you dont get to hear from the dealer
Just an update for everyone from my previous comment,i have this week ordered a brand new Mokka e.I did order the ultimate edition,but here in the U.K there is a 8 month waiting list.So hope to see it around January 2023,but most brands are suffering similar delays of new vehicles.
@@GillyBikes Really looking forward to it tbh,got the green with black roof.My BMW has only done, 4100miles and is 3 years old in July.So will need to charge up the Mokka,once maybe twice in a month at the public chargers.I can actually see a 50kWh Instavolt charger from my house,so not a big deal.
I am thinking of going electric in July,and need to order in a few weeks.My BMW grand tourer (7 seater),only gets around 25mpg around town.Don't need 7 seats anymore,so looking to save a bit on running costs.I only drive around town,motorway driving extremely rare so not an issue.I was looking at the Mokka e,so your review was very helpful for me.I am able to get the ultimate edition if i want it,and hope to view and test drive next week.
As a heads up. After speaking with gridserve the reported “120kw” chargers aren’t that. They’re more like 60kw as they are shared with each CCS whether in use or not.
I have had 1 of these for a few days now. and my 60mph 54 mile drive suggests 179 mile range. That is in eco with B on. Driving at 70 does destroy the range, but it was the same in the id3 demo I had for half a day. If you can accept driving at 55 - 60mph on the motorway and drive smoothly 170 - 180+ is easily doable in fine weather. Don't get me wrong i would prefer an id3 but I don't want to wait 15 months for one :-)
Ey just for what it's worth, for motorway driving you actually want to turn off B mode as you want to make use of coasting as much as you can. B mode can come back on once u r off the motorways
I've got a Kona Electric 64kwh which gives me a practical range of 250 miles most of the time. I'll be honest, if I didn't have it on Motability there is no way I could have afforded to buy it at £29,000, but I love it, I charge at home I reckon it costs me about £16 per week.
That’s really good. I get about 180 out of mine. That’s good enough for a few days driving for me. I think next time I will buy something with a better range.
@Tarot Tales (on the Great Reset and BEYOND....!!) Motability installed it for free, I'm very unlikely to move as I'm retired and have lived in the same house over 30 years. I've done 14, 000 miles in a year so my weekly average is 270 miles per week.
270miles/4miles per kWh/67kwh x0.24p , that's 16 pounds. 16 pounds will get you 10-11 liters of fuel,on motorway you can get max 130-140 miles on that,in town around 100miles
Great review mate. Shame Vauxhall still uses that finger print loving plastic. If you wipe it to hard with a microfiber cloth it actually scratches it, so keep to the wipes 😂. All in all though it looks like a good motor. The style is awesome, will be de- badging mine when I get it, they look even better then, people don't know what it is lol. x
With your centre console mate, buy yourself some adhesive carbon fibre. Really cheap, looks good and is not a finger print / smudge magnet. Good vid though 😁
I / we only do a few 'long distance' journeys a year as a family, so the reduced motorway mileage wouldn't bother me. Still rocking 2 x Diesel's, both doing 55mpg. Main problem is our less than 8k (combined!) annual miles. Replacing our main vehicle (2nd hand but full spec Nissan Qashqai) with an SUV EV wouldn't get anywhere near to saving money, in fact even the MG ZS (tall family) would end up costing us an extra £300-400pm.
On those figures it’s not worth changing. For me I’m saving about £100 per month on fuel and a few hundred more a year due to zero tax. I think the cost of the new cars will have to come down more before everyone makes the change.
@@GillyBikes Yeah, shame really. Road tax £20 and £30 lol. Pay more for a takeaway for the family! Think a lot of the positive propaganda is based of those who regularly buy new cars, or those in the 25k+ mark, and do high mileage with crap mpg. Also those in cities with congestion zones, although you'll have noticed they're increasing ..
How much is a full tank? Its been costing me £110 to fill my 2.0 seat leon and that's about 600 miles with 62mpg.. compared it to my partners mokka e and if we were to pay £110.. that's equivalent to 16 full charges and a range of roughly 2400 miles based on 150 mile range each full charge which is absolutely crazy.. made me realise that even though my diesel is good on fuel it is nothing compared to electric
@@GillyBikes Interesting to know. Thanks. Miner's a year old too. Had antiroll bar bushes, bushes on the shock absorber lower mounts which part cured some of the knocks. In at the moment on 6k miles for two new driveshafts. Vauxhall say I'll hear more knocks because it's electric! At 70mph? On uneven surfaces/cobbles it terrible. Feels like something is loose. Told it's a trait of the car. Mmmm. Cheers. Thanks for the reply.
Just ordered one of these amazing looking car for vauxhall they drive nice too are they quick of the line tho couldn’t really give it some with the dealer sat next to me 😂
So we have had a petrol automatic Mokka for 12 months. So the lane control is a pain. Getting in the back is another issue. So kids will be ok but if your an adult you will have issues getting in and out. We have the keyless entry. We have given up on this as it is so temperamental. Then one big issue is when we go to open the car with the key fob. We find the car will not open. The key fob stops working. So we have a trick now to get round this. We have to open and close the boot. Which I am guessing because we have keyless entry it allows us to do this. Then the key fob comes back to life. We can now open the car with the key fob. The car has been back 7 times to the dealer. Still not fixed.
Wow. That is an absolute pain. The only issues I’ve had. A couple of times the keyless entry hasn’t worked. But it let me open the boot. Then it let me open the doors. Very recently access to the charging point is sticking. I need to stick something in to pop it open. That’s annoying. I’ve seen quite a bit online about the door lock issue. Think that is happening to all of them. Last I heard was it was a software issue and they were working on an update. Hopefully be sorted soon.
Hope to see more videos on the Mokka E please! Had it over two weeks. May I add the glove box is tiny; adding a rear cup holder is £55; no rear interior light; no grap holders. PS, is your dashcam permanently wired, if so which brand?
The dash cam I use was just a random Amazon buy. iiwey 1080P Front and Rear Inside... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08Y886X89?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I Bought a few different ones. You can hard wire it but I just plug it in to the cigarette lighter. I might do another Mokka video soon.
RE your hunt for a dash cam. I have dash cam front and rear fitted and with the help of my very capable son we have it all fitted anthe only cable you can see is the little bit ( appro12mm which enters the front camera and feeds the rear one. no Noles drilled ( lease car) works beautifully. I cant remember the make but is available at Halfords.
Your in Warrington I cannot believe you have so few charging points. I live in a small town/ village in North Staffordshire we have 10 public charging points 6 High speed (above 50kw)
Wow your lucky. We have quite a few 7kwh chargers at supermarkets but not many fast ones. And the ones we have are often broken. I keep seeing companies making big charging stations with 6 plus chargers. The nearest one of those to where is live is about 30 miles away. 🥹
I tried both. They come with the same battery and some how get the same miles even though the Mokka is bigger. For me it came down to size and looks. The Mokka is bigger, looks a lot nicer and nicer inside. It was worth the extra money.
Thanks for this mate. I ordered my Mokka E. I test drove the Peugeot E2008, the Kona and then the Mokka E and must say I preferred the Mokka over all like the way it drove, felt and looked. Concerned about the boot space tho but will see. Do you prefer this to a petrol car?
Yes. Much better to drive. It’s nice not worrying about fuel prices and fuel shortages and queues at the petrol stations. I picked the Mokka for it’s looks to. I’m still loving it.
I got Vauxhall Mokka E 2022, I love it, I think i have made the right decision, its beautiful it's lovely to drive, great features, safety is amazing smooth drive. I live in North East Newcastle there is a lot of charging point near by. I think you need to change some setting for the Fan, temperature, & AC. The battery will work better. I have done few setting, lower the temperature. Lower the fan.
I’ve sold it now. I really liked it and would not have considered changing it but I changed jobs and the drive to work was all motorway. The range was shocking on the motorway so it ment charging every night. I had far to many nervous moments driving home with very low range. The worst being pulling into my drive when it said 1 mile remained. I do miss during it around town though.
How do you get on with the parking cameras? My wife has a Mokka e and the camera seems to grey out most of the top down view when trying to park. Is yours the same?
My Mokka E has a DAB radio fault and sadly 6 month down the line still waiting on a fix. Apart from that I love the car and charging at home through OVO energy is only costing me 6.7p KWH which in lay man terms the car running costs are around 3p a mile. Bargain
Pick my Mokka e ultimate next week really looking forward to it. What apps would you recommend for charging on the go? I’ve set up BP Pulse and Shell already. Any help would be appreciated
There are loads of apps. I would get these apps as well. Podpoint (Tesco tend to have them) InstaVolt (lots of motorway services have them) be.ev (local councils use them so quite a few in the north west) I’m sure there will be loads more. So many popping up everywhere.
Hi, do your mirrors fold electrically when you lock your car? Or do you have to fold them manually? As description says that only ultimate has that electric option
My wife has an identical white SRI NAV Premium Mokka E, and we have found that it, probably like all Stellantis EVs, stubbornly refuses to let a home smart charger do it's job of controlling the EV charging. Instead of that the Mokka E has a "Delayed Start Charging" function built in which must be used to align the charging with a cheap rate electricity tariff. If you want to look after your EV lithium-ion battery it is common knowledge that operating within the 20%-80% start of charge is best, limiting charging to 100% to only when necessary when a very long journey is about to be done. For the rest of the time unfortunately for some reason there isn't an "End charging" option, therefore charging will always proceed to 100% unless manually stopped by unlocking the doors and unplugging etc. Obviously if you don't care about the longevity of your battery then keep charging it to 100%, even when it's not necessary. Hope this helps.
I unfortunately don’t have a cheap rate tariff. It’s the same at night as it is during the day. I do normally charge overnight and don’t set any timers so it always goes to 100% ☺️
Not ideal I know but just alter your charger’s schedule to give the appropriate number of hours charge in the cheap rate window based on your cars start charge level - IE for a 50 KWH car like the Mokka e an hour at 7.4 KW gives roughly 15% charge. To do this use “Immediate Charge” on the App but scheduled charge on your charger.
More about your local charging infrastructure, where you can put your mobile phone, your cup not able to sit well in a cup holder, having to constantly clean the console surround etc. What about the performance, the daily use, comfort, wearing of particular parts of the interior, good/bad issues of entire 6 months driving experience. A bit flat overall.
How are you finding the heating in you mokka e ,ours now it’s cold is to say the least pants ,went to Birmingham form Bolton and the heater did not get hot not even warm,still waiting to get it in to Vauxhall 👍
I’ve not long changed it. I moved jobs that ment loads of motorway driving and the Mokka just didn’t have the range I needed. I never had issues with the heating though.
Come to think of it. Yes. Only in the corner of the door near to the front wheels. I do notice mud / dirt there when the door is open. It’s like they have made the door seal about 3 inches to short.
They vary so much. . Each provider charge what they want so prices do vary. I’ve not charged mine at a services for a while. Must be 6 months ago and then it was about £25 but prices have shot up since then.
@@anthonyking8290 I have it in my Ultimate spec Mokka E. Drivers only. Hardly bother with the massage seat . What's great about the Mokka is the Intellilux headlights. Just the mutts.
The cup holder comments were very picky, obviously an oversize cup wont fit, that cup wouldn't fit in a RR cup holder, thats complaining for complaining sake. The insurance alone is enough to put me off, 73 year old, midlands, no points or accidents etc. £860 PA, not on your life.
Why do you need access to mobile phone if uts connected to your car.you should not be touching your monle whilst driving so mine sits in arm rest door pocket or on the charger pad I do not need to see my mobile phone .
I like how it looks 😂Obviously this car has everything on screen. Last one I had didn’t so used the phone as a satnav then. Now I’ve just got used to it being there. Also I would keep leaving it in the car if it was out of sight.
@@GillyBikes Hi Gilly, how much do you pay per kWh? My rate is £0.40 per kWh so if battery has 50kWh then full charge going to cost me £20? Am I right?
@@GillyBikes I'm still confused, buy mokka or not. Currently I've got focus mk3 fl 2.0 diesel about 48mpg. I do about 90 miles weekly to work by motorway...

What you could try is when your at home connect the mokka E to your home wifi and update it the system. That might sort out the road speed thing 👍

They really are great cars. I should have gone for the Ultimate edition. I need massage seats 👍
Get yourself a micro fibre cloth for the piano black bits

To do this use “Immediate Charge” on the App but scheduled charge on your charger.
More about your local charging infrastructure, where you can put your mobile phone, your cup not able to sit well in a cup holder, having to constantly clean the console surround etc. What about the performance, the daily use, comfort, wearing of particular parts of the interior, good/bad issues of entire 6 months driving experience. A bit flat overall.
Thanks for the feedback.
How are you finding the heating in you mokka e ,ours now it’s cold is to say the least pants ,went to Birmingham form Bolton and the heater did not get hot not even warm,still waiting to get it in to Vauxhall 👍
I’ve not long changed it. I moved jobs that ment loads of motorway driving and the Mokka just didn’t have the range I needed. I never had issues with the heating though.
is it worth fitting a dashcam or does it drain the battery
It wouldn’t make much difference. I always put dash cams in my cars now. To many idiot drivers out there.
I have a 2021 mokka e..on mine the front door seals leak at the bottom allowing water and mud etc to enter the car, is yours the same ?
Come to think of it. Yes. Only in the corner of the door near to the front wheels. I do notice mud / dirt there when the door is open. It’s like they have made the door seal about 3 inches to short.
@@GillyBikes yeh! The main dealer said they all have the same problem !!
Hopefully they will be fixed on recall. The joys of buying a new model.
How much do they cost to fully charge at services
They vary so much. . Each provider charge what they want so prices do vary. I’ve not charged mine at a services for a while. Must be 6 months ago and then it was about £25 but prices have shot up since then.
how about the massage seats, any good?
Non in my car. 😢😭😭😭😭
Massage seat is in the ultimate spec only,but can't say if there any good or not.
@@anthonyking8290 I have it in my Ultimate spec Mokka E. Drivers only. Hardly bother with the massage seat . What's great about the Mokka is the Intellilux headlights. Just the mutts.
It works but I try not to use it to save the battery...In fact I don't use heated steering either, lol!
I heard that the Mokka-E comes standard with a heat pump? Is this is true its an absolute game changer!
I don’t think mine does. You do see a difference when it’s cold.
@@GillyBikes how old is it? Apparently it only applies on the 22MY so either GS Line it Ultimate.
I’ve had it for 8 months or so now. Looks like mine missed out on that
@@GillyBikes just out of interest what model is yours and reg plate?
SRI and 71 plate.
The cup holder comments were very picky, obviously an oversize cup wont fit, that cup wouldn't fit in a RR cup holder, thats complaining for complaining sake.
The insurance alone is enough to put me off, 73 year old, midlands, no points or accidents etc. £860 PA, not on your life.
Why do you need access to mobile phone if uts connected to your car.you should not be touching your monle whilst driving so mine sits in arm rest door pocket or on the charger pad I do not need to see my mobile phone .
I like how it looks 😂Obviously this car has everything on screen. Last one I had didn’t so used the phone as a satnav then. Now I’ve just got used to it being there. Also I would keep leaving it in the car if it was out of sight.
The miles go down quicker when I use it 🤣
Don’t they just. You need to slow down 🤬
How much does it cost to charge at home and a charging point ? I'm thinking of getting one
Currently with prices going up mine is about £10 to fully charge at home. Charge points all vary but could be up to £25ish
@@GillyBikes Hi Gilly, how much do you pay per kWh? My rate is £0.40 per kWh so if battery has 50kWh then full charge going to cost me £20? Am I right?
I’ve been paying £0.28 per kWh but prices are going up soon 😡
@@GillyBikes I'm still confused, buy mokka or not. Currently I've got focus mk3 fl 2.0 diesel about 48mpg. I do about 90 miles weekly to work by motorway...
If your doing loads of motorway I would stick with the diesel. The range is really reduced if your motorway driving.
Well buy a cup that acup shape like normal people
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂 no words
Vauxhall mokka e lol no body can start with what spec they are talking about mokka e is they say
Wat een negatieve kerel is dit kwa uitstraling.
