The Ampera's battery can be re-charged through any 230 volt electrical outlet.ĭesign on the Ampera's production version will likely be close to what we've seen from images that have been released so far and the spy shots from a couple of weeks ago. An internal combustion engine acts as a generator to re-charge the batteries which GM/Opel claims will give the car an impressive extended range of 500 km. The Ampera is a 5-door, 4-seat hatch powered by GM's Voltec plug-in hybrid system and is said to have a range of 60 km running solely on the lithium-ion battery. (The show opens to the public on the March 5th.) Here's a teaser image of the Ampera as it will be debuting on March 3rd (for two press days) at the Geneva motor show.
