The Opel Ampera is unique. No other European electric car can
transport four people up to 80 kilometers on pure electric power and
more than 500 kilometers in bi-fuel operation without making a stop to
re-charge. In the framework of the model offensive that is now in full
swing, Opel is making another clear statement and investing in the
future of electric mobility. The German automaker is significantly
reducing the Ampera’s purchase price in selected markets – as a boost
for this environmentally friendly type of mobility that is still not
widespread enough. In Germany the innovation leader Opel Ampera is now
available from just 38,300 euros, a substantial reduction of 7,600
euros.
Opel is one of the pioneers in trendsetting electric mobility. Since
its market launch at the beginning of 2012, Opel has made significant
progress with its first electric car. By streamlining series production
processes, leveraging savings in components purchasing and maintaining
an unwavering commitment to making electric mobility affordable for
everyone, Opel is now able to considerably reduce the Ampera’s price. In
doing so, the automaker strengthens a new, trendsetting technology –
for the general benefit of the customers and much to the delight of the
Opel CEO. Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann: “The Opel Ampera was the first
electric car on the market from a European manufacturer. With our new
pricing, we show our straightforwardness and continue to pursue our
strategy for sustainable mobility. We at Opel remain committed to
investing in electric propulsion and believe in an emission-free
automotive future – not in the future, but today.” The Opel CEO
announced this good news today at the ZEIT Congress in Frankfurt, a
conference for experts on the subject of mobility of the future.
The Opel Ampera is a fully-fledged, four-seat sedan which can cover
up to 80 kilometers on pure electric power, meaning completely
emission-free in urban areas. When the 16-kWh lithium battery is charged
with electricity from renewable sources, its environmental footprint is
impeccable. And when the on-board range extender – a 1.4-liter gasoline
engine – is used, the Opel Ampera can cover distances up to 500
kilometers without stopping for a battery re-charge.
