The Opel Frontera Electric is Opel's return to the affordable electric SUV segment. Built on the same Smart Car platform as the Citroën ë-C3 Aircross, it offers practical family space, two battery options, and competitive pricing starting from 125,900 PLN in Poland. Here's everything you need to know about charging this spacious electric SUV at home. Basic Information Available versions in Poland (2025): Edition (44 kWh) - from 125,900 PLN (basic trim, 305 km range) Edition Extended Range (54 kWh) - from 135,900 PLN (408 km range) GS (44 kWh) - from 139,900 PLN (enhanced trim, 305 km range) GS with 11 kW charger (44 kWh) - from 141,400 PLN (adds three-phase charging) Technical data: Battery: 44 kWh or 54 kWh Extended Range (LFP) WLTP Range: 305 km (44 kWh) / 408 km (54 kWh) Motor: 113 HP (83 kW), 120 Nm 0-100 km/h: 11 seconds Top speed: 135 km/h Connector: CCS2 (Combo 2) Trunk: 460 liters (1,594 liters with seats folded) Charging: AC: 7.4 kW (standard), 11 kW (option for 1,500 PLN) DC: 100 kW (20-80% in 26 minutes) Before You Buy a Charger - Check Your Socket! This is the most important decision! Your charging speed depends entirely on what electrical installation you have at home. Option 1: Standard 230V Socket (Schuko) What it is:Regular household socket - same as for your TV or computer. Charging parameters: Power: 3.7 kW (16A, single-phase) Frontera 44 kWh: about 16 hours (0-100%) Frontera 54 kWh: about 20 hours (0-100%) For whom: Very light use only (under 50 km daily) Important: About 20% of household sockets have installation issues (no grounding, reversed polarity). Quality chargers will detect these problems and refuse to charge - this protects your car and home. Compatible chargers: Q37 - 3.7 kW with WiFi app P35 - 3.7 kW with display B35 - 3.7 kW basic Option 2: Industrial CEE Socket What it is:"Industrial" socket - red or blue, much larger than standard socket. Requires professional installation. Two types: CEE 16A (three-phase, "small power"): Power: 11 kW Frontera 44 kWh: about 5 hours (0-100%) Frontera 54 kWh: about 6.5 hours (0-100%) Requires: Optional 11 kW charger in car (1,500 PLN upgrade) CEE 32A (single-phase, red, "large power"): Power: 7.4 kW Frontera 44 kWh: about 8 hours (0-100%) Frontera 54 kWh: about 10 hours (0-100%) Works with standard 7.4 kW car charger Compatible chargers: For CEE 16A (11 kW): Q11 or P11 For CEE 32A (7.4 kW): Q74 or P72 Not Sure What You Have? Take a photo of your electrical panel and outlets Ask a qualified electrician Choose Q11 with adapters - works with any source Frontera Electric Charging Specification AC Charging (Home/Public) The Frontera Electric offers two onboard charger options: Standard: 7.4 kW (single-phase) 44 kWh battery: about 7.75 hours (0-100%) 54 kWh battery: about 9.5 hours (0-100%) Socket: CEE32 single-phase (red) Included in base price Optional: 11 kW (three-phase) Additional cost: 1,500 PLN 44 kWh battery: about 5 hours (0-100%) 54 kWh battery: about 6.5 hours (0-100%) Socket: CEE16 three-phase Requires three-phase home installation Which option should you choose? Have single-phase only: Standard 7.4 kW is sufficient Have three-phase installation: Upgrade to 11 kW is absolutely worth 1,500 PLN - you save 2.5-3 hours per charge DC Charging (Fast Charging Stations) Parameters: Maximum power: 100 kW 20-80%: 26 minutes (both battery sizes) 10-80%: about 30-32 minutes Connector: CCS2 (Combo 2) Available networks in Poland: Orlen Charge (50-150 kW stations) Greenway (50 kW stations) Ionity (350 kW stations, Frontera max 100 kW) Tesla Supercharger (selected locations, 250 kW) Charging curve: 10-50%: 90-100 kW (fastest period) 50-80%: 70-85 kW 80-100%: 10-30 kW (very slow - avoid charging above 80%) Which Ampere Point Charger Should You Choose? Your choice depends on two factors: Which onboard charger your car has (7.4 kW or 11 kW) Your home electrical installation (230V, CEE single-phase, or CEE three-phase) Scenario 1: Standard 7.4 kW + CEE32 Socket Your car: Standard 7.4 kW charger (no upgrade paid)Your home: CEE32 single-phase socket (red) Recommendation: Q74 (7.4 kW) - See offer Power: 7.4 kW - perfect match for your car Charging 44 kWh: about 8 hours Charging 54 kWh: about 10 hours WiFi app: schedule charging, track statistics Portable: take on trips Rugged construction: IP66/IK10 rated OR P72 (7.4 kW) - See offer Power: 7.4 kW More affordable without WiFi 2.4" LCD display Timer function, current control Scenario 2: Optional 11 kW + Three-Phase Installation Your car: Optional 11 kW charger (paid 1,500 PLN upgrade)Your home: CEE16 three-phase socket Recommendation: Q11 (11 kW) - See offer Power: 11 kW - utilize full car capability Charging 44 kWh: about 5 hours Charging 54 kWh: about 6.5 hours WiFi app: complete charging control Adjust current by 1A increments during charging Energy statistics and cost tracking Portable for travel Q11 with Adapters - Universal option Includes adapter for 230V socket Can charge at 3.7 kW or 11 kW depending on source Maximum flexibility Best if unsure about installation OR P11 (11 kW) - See offer Power: 11 kW More affordable without WiFi 2.4" LCD display Reliable, straightforward operation Q11 vs P11 difference:Both portable, same charging speed. Q11 adds WiFi app and smart features. P11 is simpler and cheaper. Scenario 3: Only 230V Socket Your home: Only standard household socket Recommendation: Q37 (3.7 kW) - See offer Charging 44 kWh: about 16 hours Charging 54 kWh: about 20 hours Only suitable for very light use (under 50 km daily) Reality check: This is emergency-only charging for Frontera. The large batteries really need CEE installation for practical daily use. OR P35 (3.7 kW) - See offer More affordable LCD display Charging Times - Comparison Table Battery Power Charger 0-100% 20-80% Suitable for 44 kWh 3.7 kW Q37/P35/B35 ~16h ~10h Emergency only 44 kWh 7.4 kW Q74/P72 ~8h ~5h Daily use up to 150 km 44 kWh 11 kW Q11/P11 ~5h ~3h Daily use up to 200 km 54 kWh 11 kW Q11/P11 ~6.5h ~4h Daily use up to 250 km Any 100 kW DC Station ~40min ~26min Road trips FAQ - Common Questions 1. Can I charge Frontera from normal 230V socket? Technically yes, but it's very slow (16-20 hours). Only practical for extremely light use. We strongly recommend installing at least CEE32 for 7.4 kW charging. 2. Do I need three-phase installation? Depends on your usage: Under 150 km daily: Single-phase 7.4 kW sufficient 150-250 km daily: Three-phase 11 kW highly recommended Over 250 km daily: You need DC fast charging regularly anyway 3. Is the 11 kW upgrade in the car worth 1,500 PLN? Yes, if you have three-phase electricity at home. You save 2.5-3 hours per charge. Over the car's lifetime, that's hundreds of hours saved. Excellent value. 4. Does the battery degrade with fast DC charging? LFP batteries in Frontera are highly resistant to degradation. Regular DC fast charging won't significantly harm the battery. Expect 8-12% degradation after 200,000 km regardless of charging habits. 5. Can I charge at any DC station in Europe? Yes! Frontera has standard CCS2 connector - works at virtually every public DC station in Europe. 6. What's real winter range? Expect 30-35% reduction in winter: 44 kWh battery: 190-220 km real winter range 54 kWh battery: 250-280 km real winter range No heat pump means cabin heating uses significant energy. Pre-conditioning while plugged in helps. Summary The Opel Frontera Electric is a practical family SUV offering: Two battery options: 305 km or 408 km WLTP range Spacious interior: 460-1,594 liters cargo capacity Fast DC charging: 100 kW (26 minutes to 80%) Affordable pricing: from 125,900 PLN Key to success: Proper home charging setup. For regular use: Install at least CEE32 socket for 7.4 kW charging Better yet, install CEE16 three-phase for 11 kW Pay 1,500 PLN for 11 kW car upgrade if you have three-phase Choose appropriate Ampere Point charger for your setup Extended Range worth it? If you can afford the 10,000 PLN premium for 54 kWh battery, it's excellent value. That extra 100 km makes real difference for flexibility and peace of mind. Not sure what to choose?
