Opel will be the first European automobile manufacturer to provide customers several hundred kilometres of non-stop electric driving using GM's electric propulsion technology, called Voltec
For short trips up to 60 km, the Ampera will run only on lithium-ion battery power charged via a standard 230v outlet. For longer distances, the car will continue to drive on electricity that is generated by a small internal combustion engine.
The Ampera will be well-suited to the daily driving schedule of most European customers. For example, approximately 80 percent of German drivers travel less than 50 km daily.
