Opel is on a real charge
OPEL has announced Ampera as the name of its extended-range electric car shown at the Geneva Motor Show in March 5-15.
“Opel will be the first European manufacturer to provide customers with several hundred kilometres of non-stop electric driving,” says Alain Visser, GM Europe chief marketing officer. For trips up to 60km, it will run on lithium-ion battery charged via a standard 230v outlet.
For longer distances it will use electricity generated by a small internal combustion engine.
