Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Temperature (20°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).
The Corsa-e is available in the top spec SRi variant.

2023 Opel Corsa-E | Car Review
"The Opel Corsa-E is a saner, but less stylish, Peugeot 208-e. It’s easier to use and get acquainted with, and Opel’s removed some of the Peugeot’s oddities. Naturally, this removes some of the flair as well, if we’re honest."
"When driving, the Corsa-E has the demeanour of a competent economy car. The performance isn’t going to light your hair on fire, but handling is reasonable and the ride quality on suburban streets was excellent."
"Whatever you want to call it, the Corsa-e is a compact hatch that’s good for the city and good for the environment too. It comes loaded with features (so much you wonder how Opel squeezed them all in), and has a range that’ll ensure you’re not constantly on the look out for a charger."
Opel Corsa-e: New Zealand’s cheapest Euro electric car?
"It looks great, it goes okay, it's got all the gadgets you could want. Opel might just have a winner on their hands it's up to you the Kiwi motorist to decide."
