Opel and Vauxhall have unveiled a zero-emission variant of the Combo, which is dubbed the Combo-e.
The LCV (light commercial vehicle) uses a 136 PS (134 HP / 100 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque electric motor, which is powered by a 50 kWh battery that’s positioned under the floor between the axles.
In this configuration, the automaker claims that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 11.2 seconds and up to a top speed of 130 km/h (80 mph). The Combo-e will offer an estimated 275-km (171-mile) range on the WLTP cycle, while recharging at 100 kW to 80 percent will take around 30 minutes.

The Combo-e features a 100kW (136hp) electric motor and 50kW battery and supports up to 100kW rapid charging with an 80 percent charge completed in 30 minutes. Longer, L2H1 variants of the Combo-e feature a maximum load volume of 4.4m³ and a maximum load length of up to 3,440mm.
The 50kWh lithium-ion battery is made up of 216 cells and 18 modules and has been placed under the floor between the front and rear axle. This gives the vehicle a low centre of gravity, which improves its cornering and stability even when fully loaded.
