Ford Puma Gen-E vs Opel Frontera Electric

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Opel Frontera Electric has the higher published DC charging figure at 100 kW, which is comparable to the Ford Puma Gen-E at 100 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Ford Puma Gen-E is listed at about 23 minutes, which is 3 minutes quicker than the Opel Frontera Electric at 26 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Ford Puma Gen-E has a WLTP rated range of approximately 376 km, which is roughly 71 km more than the Opel Frontera Electric at approximately 305 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Ford Puma Gen-E consumes 159 Wh/km, compared to 183 Wh/km for the Opel Frontera Electric. That means the Ford Puma Gen-E uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Ford Puma Gen-E has approximately 43.6 kWh of useable battery , while the Opel Frontera Electric has approximately 43.8 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

Both cars show similar published DC fast-charging figures at 100 kW. For road trips, the one with more range between stops may be more practical.

For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Ford Puma Gen-E supports up to 11 kW, compared to up to 7 kW for the Opel Frontera Electric. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can matter at those locations if the higher AC figure is fitted on the car you buy.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Ford Puma Gen-E is the more efficient choice at 159 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Ford Puma Gen-E has a WLTP rated range of approximately 376 km, which is roughly 71 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
