DETROIT: a Few weeks after the unveiling in Norway is price finally ready. It will hardly make the Opel Ampera-e less popular in this country than it already is:
electrical car to be sold from 289.900 money.
in other words, around 35.000 million less than the manufacturer previously has signaled.
the Car is launched very first in Norway.
Production started
Six months before deliveries start in the Uk, is the first Opel Ampera-e about to be produced in the united STATES.
With a range of over 500 kilometers (provisional NEDC measurements, at least 380 km WLTP) is this an electric vehicle that is probably quite a long time will have a solid rekkeviddeforsprang on their closest competitors. This is the first car in this class offers the Tesla range, but also at a much lower price.
Currently, only series production of tvillingmodellen the Chevrolet Bolt that has started up. It is now made of the Opel Ampera-e is forserieversjoner that will be shipped to Europe and used for final testing.
It also applies to the five cars that Teknisk Ukeblad and a number of other journalists have been study outside of General Motors’ Lake Orion plant north of Detroit.
Powerful regeneration
It is somewhat limited what may be drawn of the conclusions after half an hour in the back seat while an Opel-employee ratter the car around in a parking lot. But it is at least possible to get confirmed some things, such as, for example, that bakseteplassen is good in relation to the car’s modest external dimensions. It is completely resaleable to sit behind even if the driver Christopher Rux is 197 cm long.
the Car also seems to be as nimble as the official akselerasjonstallene indicates, namely, that it manages 0 to 50 kilometers per hour at 3.2 seconds and only need the 4.5 seconds from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour, which is two seconds less than the Astra verstingen OPC.
Ampera-e has four kjøremodi with different degrees of regenerative braking. The shift lever set either in “drive” (D) or “low” (L), and in addition, there is a switch behind the steering wheel called “Regen on Demand” that can be used both on D and L. With this turned on is nedbremsingen quite violent with a time akselerasjonspedalen is released and the brake lights light up. It allows for the so-called énpedalskjøring as many elbilister already accustomed to.
Rux tells us that this is the mode that provides the greatest range and that was used when the Opel in the fall drove 417 miles from London to bilmessa in Paris and still had 80 miles left in the battery.
the Battery produced by LG Chem and has a capacity of 60 kWh. Header consists of 288 cells spread on the 5×2 modules and weighing approximately 430 kg. The battery is placed in the floor as an integral part of the chassis.
As a Technical Magazine spoke of in the previous week, there has been some confusion about the ladeeffekten, as the user manual to Bolt describes 80 kW-fast charging. Ralf Hannappel, chief of opel’s electrification, cleared up and explained that the models are identical and that both both charge with a maximum of 50 kilowatts of power. This gives according to Opel 150 mile range with 30 minute charge (NEDC).
Launch in the Uk
the Chevy Bolt will get official launch in late January/February in San Francisco, so it is probably just to wait for the first pictures of the electric vehicle on a trip in the neighborhood of the Tesla.
the Launch of the Opel Ampera-e follows as in april. It is added to Norway, which also is the first country to receive the cars, ahead of Germany, the Netherlands, France and Switzerland. Those who are first in line can expect to get his car in June. Opel will still not provide the exact number of orders, but confirms that the influx is so significant that it will lead Opel in many places upwards on the Norwegian sales statistics for 2017.
Standard version (premium) to the 289.900 money has good equipment. The who want a førerassistentpakke have to pay 12.900 million extra, as well with leather seats, heat rear and extra system costs 16.900 million.
IN the united STATES has the Chevy Bolt utgangspris on 37.500 dollars (317.000 million), before statssubsidier.
Presale of the Ampera-e started unusually early, almost a year before launch. We understand that many people have waited impatiently, and pleasures us much of the wonderful reception the car has received. We we decided early on to organize a national bestillingsliste to make sure that customers get the car in the order they have been ordered, ” says the ceo of Opel Norway, Bernt G. Jessen, in a press release.
According to him can all as per 13. December have booked a car, expect that it will be produced in 2017.
Have noted the Norwegian interest
Also the lead in the GM tells us that they have not been the tremendous interest it has been for the car in Norway and how people køet around the car when it was on display during Zerokonferansen at the end of november. Some things will not, however, the GM talk in detail about. One of these themes is how many Bolt and Ampera-e that is to be produced in the coming year.
– We begin with one shift now, so we’ll see. We have the opportunity to increase the capacity, ” says Pam Fletcher, principal engineer for the Bolt/Ampera-e, to Teknisk Ukeblad.
The same is the message from Mike Ableson, vice president for “Global Mobility Strategy” in GM. He avfeier the possibility that they should not be able to meet the demand, and says that it would be a luxury problem, which of course will be resolved.
According to plant manager Jim Quick at the Orion plant, which has 1,200 employees, is produksjonstakten in the day about 300 cars a day with one åttetimersskift. There is produced for the other Bolt and soon Ampera-e on the same line as the gasoline car the Chevy Sonic.
