Ampera: the electric Opel

Opel has announced how it will be the European version of its Volt plug in hybrid. This is the Ampera, a model that will be displayed, even in prototype stage in the upcoming Geneva Motor Show to be held in early March. Therefore

Ampera and although it is marketed as an Opel, in reality it is the same model that General Motors in the U.S. market under the Chevrolet brand.

Like the Chevrolet Volt, the Opel Ampera is a medium sized saloon car with five doors, which could be described as hybrid electric or plug-in rechargeable. Therefore, if the battery of this model is loaded, the only Ampera operate the electric motor, and therefore does not emit pollutants in the atmosphere.

If the battery has enough power, we will have to recharge it. In this sense, the Opel Ampera may be recharged through any 230-volt outlet in Europe. In the U.S., by contrast, the Chevrolet Volt is recharged in electrical outlets of 110 volts.

This difference only affects the loading time, which in the U.S. is eight hours in Europe and three hours to recharge the batteries completely. In addition, if you have something you can knock 80% recharge the battery in just 60 minutes.

If the battery is charged at 100%, the user can move around Ampera Opel 60 miles with the only intervention by the electric motor. According to General Motors, that autonomy is more than enough since most people walk around with his car 50 miles each day.

General Motors announces

, recharge the battery at full Ampera future Opel will cost around 1.2 euros. Hence the ever-kilometer will cost 2 euro cents (0.02 ).

By contrast, a gasoline car that consumes about eight liters per 100 kilometers, has a cost six euro cents per kilometer, with estimated fuel cost of 0.85 euros per liter. This means that each day we could save with the Opel Ampera about 2.4 euros a day, 12 euros a week, 48 euros per month and almost 600 euros a year, always assuming that circulates around 60 euros a day and The cost of gasoline is 0.85 euros per liter.

Still, if the driver needs to travel more miles and the battery is exhausted, then it enters the engine traditional gasoline. The latter is a heat engine that can run on E-85, 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, is able, therefore, to move the vehicle for hundreds of kilometers.

Regard to the habitability, General Motors says that four adults can travel in complete comfort with Ampera Opel. Asimsimo, this will be a hybrid plug-in display technology. Among other things may include an instrument panel liquid crystal display, a seven-inch touch screen, a navigation system with hard drive, bluetooth and USB jack, among other things.
