I really enjoy your videos, and it's frustrating to see all these new "produced, TV celebrity, Motoring journo" channels all taking the brownie points away from yourselves in a tsunami of "professional" channels that we have no idea of wether they're being "nudged" in any way. It's almost nostalgic thinking back to the days when it was just you and your family doing the best you could to change the world. How things have changed in just a few years !!
Love you're videos as always don't have 30k for the mokka e
which is a good used ev is a mk1 30kwh leaf still or a used battery owned zoe a good buy.
pro tip: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
@King Logan Yea, I have been watching on flixzone} for since december myself :D
Well done guys, another excellent review.
I agree with all of your findings, & yes I would buy one. I currently have a 2020 e-Golf Executive and find most of the new EV's to be lacking in quality fit and finish compared to the e-Golf. But the Mokka looks like it's a real contender at a good price point. Love the colour, awesome! Great honest video as ever, well done & thanks!
Great review! We have one on test today. We’ve owned all battery sizes in Leaf(s) since 2015 but want to try something new. The range isn’t an issue for us. Can’t wait to try it 👍🏻
Great Review. James and Kate agreeing on every aspect of the Mokka-e. Has the world gone mad!
Great review. Thank you. I've just ordered my mokka e black sri premium Nav. Can't wait to get it , I test drove tge mokka e fir an hour and loved it the adaptive cruise control was fantastic and the ride quality was superb 👌
Thanks for the vlog. The issues you mention are the same in the Corsa e. I like the look of this car even like the colour. I might get one in future when my deal on my Corsa e runs out.
Thanks guy's! Having one for a 48hr test drive this weekend. See if I can trade in the old tractor. The passenger seat has got some extraordinary height adjustment! The missus will like that 😉. Take care!
The choice of EV cars available today is amazing. Even better knowing that you two are consistently producing excellent family reviews which are down to earth and better than any showroom explanation. Another good review. It is aesthetically pleasing inside and outside. I must admit the only thing I do not like is the bright colour green.
Great review, we just been for a test drive in one and I thought it was great, it had a dark roof lining which made it very dark inside but can see from your review that you can get a light interior.
Great review. Would be good to see you guys test the charging speed out.
Great review, as always. Thanks to both of you. 🙂👍
I'm no fan of SUV's, and would have an estate if it was available, but as you said, this one appeals straight away, so this Vauxhall is an exception, despite the ridiculous name. About 25% more real world range for this platform would make them all sell very well, if the price could be kept under control.
Yes I have been a fan of this from the word go. What was always going to win me over is the Opel Manta A front grill look from the 70s. My dad had a green one - same color as this. I thought I was living in the past. Great to see. Aside from that they have really come up with a good quirky formula, I guess in the way the Kia Soul has. Also, while its high up, the roof line I noticed is actually lower than the Nissan LEAF's.
Great video as always! We need more small ev options in Canada. Seems like here you either choose a Nissan Leaf or a BMW i3.
Yes I now own one of these in Red. This is day 5 and I'm enjoying it. Just be clear the entertainment system does not support my ipod classic. But that's about the only negative thing I have found.. Mine when fully charged on Eco mode says 212 miles range. I did a 105miles on Friday using 44% of battery. All of which bodes well for range. I'm impressed with the delayed charging and the my Vauxhall app. Very happy with it so far. I installed a 7kw charger at home.
Great review video thanks. eVauxhalls seem really on point at the moment. A review of the Vivaro e would be great if possible as it looks a game changer for eVans.
Great review. 👍🏻
Brill review, thanks guys
I think it looks great in green, good to see a car that stands out from the crowd.
Nice review as always. Really funky looking car. I'd have to drive it to see if it is the best on this platform from my point of view (loved the E 208, Corsa too plain for me. Citroen also a bit plain, E2008 OK and DS way too fussy inside - diamonds as you say). I find swimming regularly sorts out all my aches and pains - good luck sorting out the neck Kate, not fun.
Quite a different look in comparison to other reviews. Really nice
Great review. No idea why the e-208 is talked about in the comparison as that is in the class with the e-Corsa,
the Peugeot e-2008 is the sister car. Best really that someone gets on and running the cars in convoy and check the PSA cars. The taller, heavier Crossover types are not going as far as the 2 lower and lighter Peugeot / Vauxhall (Opel)
Reverse camera is nice staying on until the doors Autolock' so about 5 mph , you see if you forgot to take your deck chairs / picnic box.
I would have loved the Kona to keep the reversing camera on for a time (to be adjustable) or via a button, after going back to forward driving.
Also, its really great how the PSA group(Peugeot/Citroen/Opel/Vauxhall) have stuck with a 50KwHr battery which is I think the optimal size. Why be carrying round more expensive battery when you don't need it? But they really need to focus now on getting the price down for these cars.
They also need a proper glove box and a charge timer that stops the charge as well as starts it.
Hi to you both the car looks nice as you say in that colour. The great thing is we are getting loads of Ev’s out now which means more choice and at different price points they’re not all £60.000 plus great big SUV’s as nice as they are.
Kate makes getting into the rear seat look doable. When watching Llewelyn doing the same it looked compromised for a more advanced age body frame
I currently drive a Toyota Corolla Touring Sports 2.0 MY19 and aren't happy with the seat comfort and I've started to consider the replacement. Went for a test drive in the Lexus UX 250h and this one has much better seats and ride comfort, but lack in the multimedia department. I followed up with a test ride in the Citroen e-C4 and did not like that one. To my surprise, the Mokka-e was more or less an instant hit with me. I really like it. While it lacks towing possibility, the other features makes up for that. The ride is actually relatively close to the Lexus, which surprised me. Now I am waiting for the Renault Megane electric and Toyota BZ4x to be launched such that I can inspect and drive those cars, but I must say that the Mokka made a really good impression and it is at the top of my list atm. And thanks for making a review of the car. I subbed ;)
Hi you didnt say if it had adaptive cruise lane assist etc ?
Quick question does it come with heated seats and lumbar support??
BTW. How well does it go around bends?
How would you compare this to the Kia Niro you tested before?
It would be interesting to compare it with the e2008.
Hi! EV James and Kate. Have you notice a design problem in the back seat of this car? I was at the dealer and tested the opel mokka-e...and it should be exactly the same. The back of my head hit the roof when I leaned back against the headrest. Do you have the same problem in this car? I'm not a tall person...just 5,7 feet tall
I’ve found that on my Niro that’s spec at 100 kw charging, the max I get is nearer to 70 although it has to be said regeneration can be as high as 100kw. I imagine that the Moka would be the same and only reach the 100kw when regenerating. It’s a really nice looking car and to be honest I might just have gone for had it been available when I bought my Niro. I’ve found that one doesn’t need a huge range something that I was paranoid about, like you’ve stated, one needs to take a pee brake. Having watched you blog about servicing in Scotland you’ve shown that a smaller battery, such as in your van is quite adequate although I imagine on those trip a bigger battery might have been helpful.
The Niro can only charge at 70kw. They give you a time for how long it charges on 100kw which is a little misleading.
@@Lewis_Standing
Yes I agree with you it is a little misleading however as I mention, another blogger, not me, tested how much it would regenerate at and was surprised to find it could regenerate at close to 100 kw. From what I’ve seen most manufacturers state more than can be done at a rapid charge point, with a few exceptions. Frankly I don’t much care as the Nero has such a long range it’s not a problem. Where I believe very fast charging would come into its own is in cars with small 30kwh hour batteries, splash and dash!
Vauxhall still using the SRi badge.. blast from the past.
There are 3 things i want know from a review.Does it have Thermal Battery Management,Does it have Fast Charging which you covered and how much does it cost.
James, you'll have to work on all these cars you test sometime in the future... anything you don't look forward to repairing?
I’ve always said I would never buy Vauxhall, but this is a great car . A petrol or EV is worth a test drive!
Hi your not your buying a PSA vehicle.
@@1d2a3d4d5i6o it’s got a Vauxhall badge
I own a 2014 Mokka 1.4t SE and find it excellent but whether £30K+ for electric is worth paying I am subjective. The looks of this new design are great and maybe if I win the lottery a new electric Mokka may be on the table. Will give it a couple of years to grow up.
Looks like it's made a MOKKA-rEE of the competition!
Will fast charging reduce the battery life? A man in the USA killed his battery in a year fast charging every day. What is the range with family of 4 and clothes / cases if going on holiday?
£30k but in 3 years with a few fast charges (which I'm sure Vauxhall log) what will it be worth?
Do you offer mobile EV servicing in Devon, James? We have an i3.
I could, if we had a few jobs down there to make it pay. I’ve recently had an enquiry in Plymouth and he was going to post on the SW EVOG. Feel free to see if you can find any other cars in need of our services and we can hopefully pull something together for you 👍🏻
Thanks folks!
Nice car indeed... I wonder how it would compare to the MG SZ.. in terms of quality and performance.. apart from the obvious battery range difference
I think the range gap won't be that great in every day driving. Maybe notice it a bit on motorways, but more in colder weather.
The Mokka seems to be a bit better finished but if you have to carry adults in the back the MG will be much more accomodating.
@@cable1722 thank you for the feedback 👍🏻
I like it
Great review though I do have a question do u like any petrol cars?
Yeah, I'm a proper petrol head. More a classic fan though. Cars of my youth like the 205 GTI and XR2 era
@@Jamesandkate Oh fair enough, I'm not a fan of electric cars personally, like I see their benefits but I hope for synthetic petrol instead so I can have a V8 with 0 emissions
I never liked the old mokka but this looks great.
What about price? Value?
So same range as MG but with the Mokka can see where extra money gone. If you want to swap either of your cars for one you should.
They look nice but no electric boot opening which the competitors have now on the market
Hi Kate and James. You do great reviews on cars but I have had such problems with vauxhalls appalling company for warranty. My car not a ev but two weeks afther the it first mot the engine failed and vauxhall won't refund or fix the car afther over a year and a half .the car was brand new and cost over 15000 pounds . So I would not touch a vauxhall as they are poorly made . Buy a nissan leaf if you want a ev to last
James, fella, blink 3 times if you're being held hostage.
😅
Be very interesting to see how you feel this compares to the Ec4 Citroën
I second this! The eC4 does offer something different from all the other PSA electric cars. Just a shame it uses the same battery!
I agree! The eC4 is the car to test-drive next.
£30000/150mile range! I'll stick with my MG5.
I don't get why doesn't have 10 times more reviews and more people talk about it. I didn't know we had something like that on the market. Everyone talking about competitive prices... this is it!
@@jorgemendoza325 Google Mokka-e RUclips and there are many many reviews.
Hi when you do the speed test why is there a bell ringing?
We had a bag in the passenger seat that set the seat belt warning off.
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. Oh Vauxhall customer service is a waste of time. I will not say what I think of them.
Looks better than the Astra , and I believe will sell better 🤓
Well the new Astra will also launch this year and it will have a similar look.
Having owned an MG ZS EV for 18 months, I naturally compare all the new EV's (we are looking for a new car) to this and I just question why all these mainstream EV's cost £30K and above. We compared leasing costs and nothing got even close to the MG's £250/month. If MG can sell a fully featured EV for just over £20K on the road, why can't these big manufacturers?
Because they are Chinese?
They can, they just don't want to. When they have the option of selling ice cars cheaper and making the electric version expensive they will.
They prefer to sell ice cars as they give more profit down the line in used parts/ servicing. So they will keep the EV price stupid high to discourage people from buying them.
Only when they are forced to, or to compete against the Chinese will they reduce the price.
We are struggling to replace our leaf. Few evs have 360 cameras and more importantly a timer to start AND stop charging.
It's going to be called a Mockery.
Who came up with the name?
Will you be told DS3 E tense is not a CITROEN, DS is a stand alone brand
I get your point, but regardless of what they call it or what badge they attach, we all know what it is.
Well I think it's a bit of a mockery that you prefer the moka e against the peugeot 🤣
That was quite funny 😂
45 kWh battery is the achilles heel of this car ... We had a 10 - 85% charge with 80 kW average in 30 minutes.
But 200 km of range means 1,5 hours ride at 130 km / h and charging break of 30 minutes for another 150 km.
As a second car it works ... but not really great for long distance
So who exactly is buying a small sized car for long distance travels? This ist an urban lifestyle car, nothing more. Same thing with some people talking about a family car. It's not pretending to be one at all.
You've actually just confirmed the point of this car...
😁👋 Great review🌍 love the jolly green colour. Not keen on SUV fashion 🤔 and think big bonnet no FROUNK what do you think. But it's great to see more ev's. Time to BAN toxic fossil fuel burning old technology ice car's thank you Buzz off toxic buzz Knapp-Fisher
If there is anything to turn me away from EV's it's people like you, EV evangelists who can's wait to get in their "Ban dirty ice cars" mantra.
@@12alocin Hi 👋 Mick I am sorry you feel 😢 that way. I built my first electric bike 30 years ago and also re built ice cars made electric cars Ilove transport worked heavy oil ship s engines but electric is amazing fast fun and above all if implemented correctly will be a great future for our child and all life ❤ we could make energy at home community linked to large renewable infrastructure, we do and have have the clean technology's that will free us all. But one BIG PROBLEM we have a global cartel greed capitalism rule it's not working 🤔🙊🙉🙈 Global TOXIC oil/ protects its global market and holds back clean efficient technology😳 good book recommended by the oil industry
(The Prize, Daniel Yergin)
toxic oil toxic banking has to make cash 💸 🙄 lot's. Sadly
We all face mass extinction if we carry on burning toxic fossil fuel.
Me 😳 why I will spend what years I have prompting clean safe technology's and dispel the lies corruption and the F.U.D (fear uncertainty and doubt) big toxic spend on properganda.
Me I worked for a man he set up his own independent oil company 1980s
Pace Petroleum" he told me' big oil is a global cartel lieing is normal as war. I think time for change 🤔 that's why my energy company is nonprofit. Why we need truth nonprofit global leadership 💚 🌏 for all life. I am sorry your put off EVS they could play a big party in a nonprofit non burning fossil Earth 🌎 🎶
All the best Buzz Knapp-Fisher.
Okay that is enough, this has to be said.
STOP making your thumbnails like this.
They instantly make me feel like this is some 10 year old video that youtube offers me. Because of the saturated 4:3 format. Only when looking closer and reading the title it's apparent that oh wait, it's recent video :)
This is important. You do not want to be glanced over a lot.
Best wishes :)
Hi. Please explain what you mean. The size of the thumbnail or the quality of it?? We can only upload 2 meg images ☹️
Frunk?
Front Trunk. Something you can not get with a short car with the PSA Platform as the Motor and stuff needs to live someplace.
Its going to be toosmall for the average sized family
Like the Corsa thats no family car at all. It's more like a lifestyle SUV.
