Maybe that electric drive is really a flight can take.

Last month, it launched General Motors, still the parent company of Opel, at the CES in Las Vegas, an all-electric Chevrolet, the Bolt. Long it remained vague whether the device omgelabeld would be for something European, but that lack of clarity is today at an end. It is an Opel, and they call him Ampera-e.

In the press release are not specifications, but that the Ampera-e an ‘accessible’ price is going to get. And what then of reach, they do not want to ruin it. However, we do know that the Bolt as a $ 30,000 (28.000 euro) to yield, so think a bit in that range. That’s about equal to the price of the new Tesla Model 3. That swap for $ 35,000 of the owner, said Elon Musk, if requested.

Well, there are no specs known for the Opel, but we of the Bolt. And since there is usually not much more changes than a merkje on the front grille, I dare best to say that the Opel is also a battery pack, said that the Ampera-e 300 km far, in that the same battery after an hour of charging to 80% full, that there are five man can and that there is room for 480 litres of stuff. Besides, it is no lightweight car. The batteries weigh 400 pounds and that brings the total weight of the Bolt (and therefore the Opel) on 1600 kilos. This will mean ie is still in a 7 count to 100, and the cake is on at 145 miles per hour. And I had already said that there is no internal combustion engine seem to be as in the previous Ampera?

The latest Opel shows his face finally see at the Geneva motor show, in 2017, you can also actually buy.

And finally, just because today is Thursday, still have a picture of the ass of the Ampera-e.
