Vauxhall is the latest manufacturer to slash the prices of core electric models in a bid to stimulate retail EV sales.

The move sees the starting price of Corsa Electric models cut by up to £4,150, Astra Electric vehicles reduced by a maximum of £3865 and Astra Sports Tourer Electrics by up to £3,850.

Recent months have seen several manufacturers heavily discounting electric vehicles, as the end-of-year deadline approaches for 22% of a brand’s UK sales to be zero emission under the terms of the Government ZEV mandate.

The new pricing structure follows the introduction of the special edition Corsa Electric YES Edition and Astra Electric Griffin, which the brand states is designed to make Vauxhall’s electric models more accessible. The Corsa Electric YES Edition is priced at £26,895, while the Astra Electric Griffin is available from £34,995.

Vauxhall also recently revealed that the New Frontera Electric and New Frontera Hybrid will both be available from £23,495 when orders open before the end of 2024, becoming the first manufacturer in the UK to offer list price parity between electric and petrol hybrid versions of the same car.

Vauxhall managing director James Taylor describes the new pricing structure on Corsa Electric and Astra Electric as the latest in a number of measures  taken to “democratise access” to electric vehicles.

“Our five-year PCP offer on electric models means customers can enjoy equivalent monthly payments with petrol models over four years, while the special edition Corsa Electric YES Edition and Astra Electric Griffin make going electric even more attainable,” Taylor said.

Vauxhall EV customers are also the brand’s Plug & Go offer, which includes a free Octopus Energy Ohme Pro wallbox and installation when buying online. Alternatively, customers can choose a £675 credit with Octopus Electroverse to use for public charging, in lieu of the free wallbox.
