Opel Ampera release before the end of the year 2011
Opel has announced that by the end of this year, put on the market its first electric car - Ampera. The five-door car with four-wheel drive four-wheel electric motor is equipped with a 111 kW/150 hp, powered by a lithium-ion battery. The motor Voltec constant torque of 370 Nm ensures acceleration to 100 for 9 seconds and a top speed of 161 km / h. On the promise of the manufacturer, only one electric car can travel a distance of 40-80 km depending on the style and driving conditions such as traffic conditions and ambient temperature. Cruising range with an internal combustion engine that can drive a generator to recharge the battery is more than 500 kilometers. At the same time, studies have shown that the distance of 80 km is typical of the average daily commute of European drivers. It is expected that the use of electric and internal combustion engines with CO2 emissions from Ampera not exceed 40 g / km. In addition to the generator, Opel Ampera can be recharged from the mains - six-meter charging cable is included with the package. From standard European sockets 230V/16A electric owners can fully charge the battery in less than four hours. Price Ampera in Europe will be 42 900 euros. Like all car brands in Germany and Britain to guarantee the car will be distributed "160 000 km, or for life." The warranty on the battery promises to 8 years of operation. In Opel expects the demand for Ampera will sell by the end of 2012 no less than 10 thousand cars.
