Vauxhall has surpassed 100,000 battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales, with a Grandland Electric 213PS Ultimate, delivered by Drive Vauxhall Nuneaton.
As of October 2026, Vauxhall has sold 102,852 EVs in the UK. Key milestones in the brand’s electrification journey include reaching 10,000 EV sales in 2021 and 50,000 EV sales in 2023, reflecting a tenfold increase in customer demand for Vauxhall electric vehicles.
The first Vauxhall EV was the Ampera, first sold in 2011. Following the Ampera, Corsa went electric in 2019. The original Corsa-e had a 50kWh battery with 136hp, providing up to 209 miles (WLTP) of electric driving. The current Corsa Electric is available with a 51kWh battery, 156hp, and delivers an increased range of 265 miles (WLTP).
In 2024, Vauxhall met its commitment to offer an electric version of every passenger car model in its range, with a total of eight models. Frontera Electric and Frontera Hybrid were launched with the same list price, eliminating the price disparity that usually exists between electric and combustion versions of the same car for the first time in the UK car market.
Mokka Electric remains its best-selling electric model, with more than 26,000 sales since its launch in 2020, closely followed by the Corsa Electric, with more than 23,000 sales since its launch that same year.
To complement its electric vehicle range, Vauxhall launched the Electric Streets of Britain campaign in 2023. The campaign invites drivers to register the need for on-street charging to be installed near them to help understand where the demand for infrastructure lies across the country.
Eurig Druce, Vauxhall Managing Director and Stellantis UK Group Managing Director, said:
“Surpassing 100,000 electric vehicle sales in the UK is a significant milestone for Vauxhall. From the revolutionary Ampera to today’s fully electrified car and van range, we have remained a champion of electric vehicles, and our focus is to continue making electric mobility more accessible and attainable for British drivers and businesses.
“This milestone reflects the progress being made in bringing EVs into the mainstream. Whether it’s our Electric Streets of Britain campaign, our pioneering pricing strategy and an electric option across our entire range, or building electric vans here in the UK, we are helping more customers make the switch with confidence.”
