Meet the Vauxhall Mokka Coffe-e – the EV with an onboard Barista counter.
The one-off concept has been developed to ensure drivers have access to their caffeine fix no matter where they charge.
It’s a fact that Brits drink some 95 million cups of coffee a day, but Vauxhall research has revealed that three quarters of EV drivers intentionally plan journeys to include charge points that offer coffee.
What’s more, 80% of Vauxhall owners are coffee drinkers with 64% enjoying at least one cup a day.
The Vauxhall Mokka Coffe-e concept features two coffee machines – ground and pod – both using Mokka inspired premium coffee blends.
A milk steamer, coffee grinder, knock box, and fridge are all integrated, ensuring drivers have everything they need to make the perfect coffee.
A bespoke pull-out drawer houses barista quality tools, including scales to measure a precise quantity of beans, a Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) tool to ensure a smooth extraction flow of coffee, and an espresso tamper to evenly pack the grounds, all of which enhance the flavour of brewing the perfect coffee.
The coffee grinder, mini fridge and knock box all sit within a bespoke cabinet, concealed by two Alcantara covered doors with stainless steel door handles and hand stitched design echoing the interior details of the Mokka Electric.
Within the base of the unit is a pull-out table to provide a flat surface to assemble drinks. When not in use, the table stows away securely into the base of the unit and just below that live two hand-crafted British-made Fox umbrellas to account for our unpredictable weather.
