Toyota C-HR+ vs Vauxhall Mokka-e

The Vauxhall Mokka-e is £655 cheaper to buy. The Toyota C-HR+ is cheaper to charge, roughly £136 a year versus £168 for the Vauxhall Mokka-e, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Vauxhall Mokka-e comes out roughly £495 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 235 miles for the Toyota C-HR+ and 168 miles for the Vauxhall Mokka-e - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Toyota C-HR+ goes roughly 68 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 30-30 minutes.

The Vauxhall Mokka-e is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 79 mm narrower than the Toyota C-HR+. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 609 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Mokka-e and about 530 mm of total clearance for the Toyota C-HR+. The Vauxhall Mokka-e also turns in a 0.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Toyota C-HR+ and 84% for the Vauxhall Mokka-e. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
