OPEL
Ampera-e
The Ampera-e could have a class-leading
pure electrical range that can exceed 250
miles without recharging (NEDC provisional
figure). Clever integration of the ten battery
modules means that the 4.17 metre-long car
can accommodate five people, yet still offers
a 381-litre boot. The battery package is located in the underbody and is tailored to the
contours of the vehicle, with no space wasted.
The battery, developed in cooperation with
LG Chem, comprises 288 lithium-ion cells and
has a capacity of 60 kWh. With maximum
torque of 360Nm and power equivalent to
204PS, zero to 30mph takes 3.2 seconds.
