Thx for posting another Ampera video. I'm a proud Ampera 2012 owner, with 180kKm on board. This winter will be my first one with the Ampera. Cheers!

Hi Kamil, welcome back after more than one year. Thanks for the video. Maybe you also can do videos about your Ioniq you have. It is not so unique like for the Ampera but probably also very interesting.

According to you, is it still relevant to buy a used Ampera in 2024 ?

@KamilOslizlo 2 ай бұрын

As always it depends... I wouldn't personally buy ampera now for 2 reasons, first is cose my budget increased and I would rather select bev and the second is that now when they are 10-12 years old and with lack of skilled specialists it's just hard to maintain it. But I still think it's a great car.

Were the chargers in the city you visited level 1 or level 2?

@KamilOslizlo 8 ай бұрын

Hi Brad, In Europe, we have slightly different electrical network standards. The standard voltage is 240V, and practically all charging points have a 16A and 240V configuration, providing a charging power of 3.6 kW. This is generally considered 2nd level charging. Additionally, the majority of these charging stations, as shown in my video, are equipped with 3-phase connectors with either 16A or 32A. Therefore, if a car is equipped with an onboard charger that supports such currents, it can be charged at a speed of up to 22 kW. Unfortunately, the Ampera is equipped with a single-phase charger that can only handle a maximum of 16A. Consequently, I could only charge it at a rate of 3.6 kW.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a 2012 Chevy Volt which is the same as the Ampera. I have a question regarding the trips and the fuel consumption. I know that the average I could probably get from the battery is about 40 km per charge in the city and I guess that is fine for my needs. However I was wondering when travelling on the highways, for example: If I get on the highway and need to keep 100-110 kph with the speed limiter, is it possible to do the following - lets say I have 100 km to drive on the highway and I get about 25 km travel range solely on the battery, then the petrol engine starts and I decide to put the hold mode so I can get the battery to about another 20 - 25 km range, then switch to EV again and drive for another 25 km on battery and repeat until the I get to my destination. Is that possible to be done, is it okay to be done and another question here is how fast does the petrol engine charges the battery pack lets say from 0 to 80%? Thank you! Your videos are very helpful, keep up the good content

@KamilOslizlo 5 ай бұрын

It works in a little different way. Hold mode in general would just preserve your charge. So let's say you have 50% of your charge left, you turn on your hold mode, it will preserve SOC on 50%. In general ampera doesn't charge battery while driving, it utilizes produced energy straight away with the electric motor. If you want to charge your car while driving, you could use mountain mode which would charge up to 50% the battery and preserve it. Just bary in mind that it's not very effective and should be used only when you know you will need full power on some challenging routes.

@@KamilOslizlo Thanks for the reply. I've done some reading and I realized the Volt is absolutely different from all other cars. Especially from typical hybrids. But it is an electric car that have extended range thanks to the engine. Anyways thanks for the good quality videos and on the education on the matter!

Hello, i wat to ask you. Just bought Opel ampera from 2013. I leave car overnight with full battery, but in the morning it has little bit lower battery. Is that normal? Thanks

@KamilOslizlo 7 ай бұрын

Hi Darius, Yes it's perfectly normal. Car manages the battery temperature even when it's off too protect it from bad weather conditions

@dariusbaronas3302 7 ай бұрын

@@KamilOslizlo Thank you for the answer. Also have one more question :) I also saw some time in the mornings when i go to my work i have enough battery power but some time benzine motor also turn on for 2~3 min, is that also normal?

@@dariusbaronas3302 Hey, what you're seeing with your Ampera is pretty common and it's all about the outside temp and your battery temp. Basically, the Ampera kicks on the gas engine to keep the battery in good shape if it gets too cold. It runs on gas for a bit while it warms up the battery, and then switches back to battery power. This is just how it handles the cold. But hey, if it's doing this when it's not that cold out, like 5-10°C above freezing, maybe check it out. Otherwise, it's all good and nothing to worry about.
