Charging at home or on the road? This suits Opel drivers

Flexibility in charging solutions is crucial for Opel drivers. Charging at home with a wallbox offers convenience and speed, while public charging stations along the way are essential for longer journeys. Opel's electric models are compatible with various charging stations, allowing you to charge efficiently both at home and on the go.

Which charging cables, chargers and stations are suitable?

For Opel's electric models, charging cables with Type 2 connectors are the most common. Home chargers (wall boxes) with a power of 7.4 kW to 22 kW ensure fast and safe charging. At public charging stations, you can use AC charging for normal charging and DC fast charging stations for a quick energy boost on longer journeys.
