My lifetime started at 108 and 3yrs later it’s up to 209. I very rarely use the Petrol generator because I’m blessed enough to work at a place that has chargers so I drive on electricity there and back.

Hello from Hungary, thanks for the cool vid. We've got these with Opel badge and Chevy Volts. Liked when you said it's 9 years old but still feels like the future. This is the real back to the future isn't it? :D I drove one last weekend, a friend of mind has one, I'm working on to buy one, although they are pretty expensive for their age and mileage.

Hi. Great vid. Thank you! Curious, as someone like me who does many miles on motorway weekly and local driving on weekends, would it be worth it? What sort of mileage would you get say for example on a full charge and tank of fuel to say the Lake District from London? How many miles on a full charge and tank all together before the fuel light would be on? Genuinely considering this car and wether part exchanging my 2.0 my diesel insignia is worth it for economy benefits? Or would they be about the same?

Question here, I'm considering buying one to go car camping with it frequently. Does this car has electric heating like real ev's? Or does it rely on the petrol engine to generate heat?

Apologies for the slow reply. The Ampera has an electric heater so the heat is more or less instant even when in EV mode. Hope this helps.

I'm thinking about buying one (Opel or Chevrolet in my case, I live in EU) but I wonder how long more will the battery last until the reduction of range becomes perceptible. What do you guys think?

@AshtonsCars 2 жыл бұрын
This one had done 120k miles and was 8 years old - Battery still performed really well - We got around 40 miles out of a full charge before the petrol engine had to cut in. I think the great thing about this cars design is that it will still save you money over a conventional petrol, even when the engine is in use as the engine only generates power for the electric motor.

GM has made sure you can not deplete the battery more than 20%, and can't charge it more than 80% of total capacity. This with the LACK of fast charging makes the battery operate in a very safe window.

@@ThePupil I've made my own calculations. Taking into account the natural degradation of a lithium battery, in the worst case scenario you will begin to notice the reduction of range when the car is 16 years old, if I'm not wrong.

I'm considering this purely because tbh, electricity prices are cheaper if you've got a PHEV or EV I don't drive enough to warrant spending too much. This being said when I go to my parents and back, I'd need 200 miles range. The Hyundai Kona would be perfect for that but that's £16K This is considerably cheaper. I'm also waiting for GivEnergy to come out with their own charger. This has a much better battery than the Prius PHEV too You'd still get charged the "congestion charge" for inner London, fwiw but I suspect you made a faux pas there and meant that there's no ULEZ charge I think the only things this doesn't really have is: Android auto A lack of a middle seat at the back but I wouldn't have three adults at the back. Three kids is a different matter I'm not so fond of "keyless" though largely because they're susceptible to relay attacks however sadly that's a vulnerability on all new cars

No the car is default electric but when it runs out of range, it uses its petrol engine as a generator. So the car still operates as an electric car but with the petrol engine running at idle to keep the power flowing. So long as you have petrol you will never suffer with range anxiety.

people will still be like: "but it's a vauxhall!"... yes it's a vauxhall but vauxhalls are good cars and the Ampera is a great car for people who want an Electric car but need the range of a petrol or diesel car when they do those journeys that are longer than just going to work or the shops
