How fast are electric cars?

At lightning speed! Well, not quite... electric cars don't use a traditional gearbox, so the torque produced by the electric motors can see EVs reach from 0-60mph in under 3 seconds.

Are electric cars quiet?

Yes! Almost silent, due to the absence of a gas-powered engine. In fact, some electric cars make an artifical noise, so that they don't go unnoticed by pedestrians.

How do electric vehicles work?

Electric vehicles are powered purely by rechargeable batteries. They do not rely on petrol or diesel. The batteries control the electric motors which then power the wheels. The battery can then be charged via a wall socket (at home) or dedicated charging point (found at multiple locations).

VAUXHALL ASSISTANCE

We've joined forces with the RAC to provide superb cover for you and your Vauxhall

Roadside Assistance

If your vehicle breaks down at the roadside and is immobilised, we’ll send out an RAC patrol or appointed agent to get you back on the road. If we are unable to repair your vehicle at the roadside, you can call on the Recovery service described below.

While Vauxhall Assistance aims to bring you peace-of-mind motoring, it only covers manufacturer-based or mechanical faults on your vehicle.

Who is covered?

Vauxhall Assistance is vehicle-based, so it covers anyone driving your Vauxhall with your permission. Petrol and Diesel Vauxhalls are automatically covered for the duration of your standard first-year warranty period, starting from your vehicle’s original registration date whilst Electric and Hybrid models get 8 years of cover.

If you sell your vehicle within the period of cover, the new owner can take advantage of any unexpired free Vauxhall Assistance cover, which will apply until the vehicle’s first-year warranty expires.

At Home service

If your vehicle breaks down at home, we will bring our roadside assistance service to your doorstep. If your vehicle can’t be repaired, the RAC will transport your vehicle to the nearest Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Recovery

If a prompt local repair at the roadside isn’t possible, we’ll arrange onward passage for you: up to seven passengers and your vehicle to any single mainland UK destination. If you’re towing a caravan or trailer, this can also be recovered (subject to certain weight and size restrictions).

Onward mobility

When your vehicle is immobilised, Vauxhall Assistance provides extra benefits immediately after recovery, by giving you a choice of ways to continue your journey. Simply choose the option that suits you (subject to availability) while we take your vehicle to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

If you are currently in a Breakdown Situation please call the Vauxhall Assistance Breakdown Line on 0800 55 33 88.
