Opel is considering using the new Ampera as a police vehicle, especially in urban agglomerations. According to the ideas of the manufacturer for the car emission free strip rides, silent undercover awnings or chases would be suitable. With its electric drive is the Ampera virtually silent and is ideal for quiet stalking. Lines 40-80 kilometers of the Ampera overcome with energy from the 16 kilowatt hours, lithium-ion battery. Even if it is empty, the prosecution will not be canceled: On longer trips, a gasoline engine serves as an energy source and generates electricity to the electric vehicle continues to drive. With a range of over 500 kilometers to use the guardians of the law to pursue crooks on the city's boundaries. The only 'man can not be motorized too strong: The Ampera sprints in nine seconds to 100 km and reaches a peak of 160 km / h.
Movement task Ampera'da tool, the power of lithium-ion batteries engine with an electric field line is 151 HP. 660 small 10 thousand (1600 mAh) of T cells formed approximately 180 kg weight block battery, storage capacity is 15 kWh. Ampera with full battery, 60 km along only can you get electricity. According to research daily driving distance of Opel customers is about 50 km. So this range for a daily use absolutely sufficient.
A small battery drain when the circuit enters internal combustion engines. "Range Extender" that serves as the engine to improve the range of the tool is used to move directly, only the battery is charging. Ampera case to be, and just go with electric motors and continuously plugged into outlet and need to be recharged. 60 km from the long journey to the circuit, with petrol or ethanol (E85) engine to improve the working range is engaged. Therefore, the Ampera not be a car with zero C02 emissions.
Estimate a four-door to the new car's performance figures may not be very difficult. For example, 0-100 km / h acceleration time of 9 seconds, the maximum speed of 160 km / s will be around. A while ago that the Opel Chairman Hans Demant, to reduce C02 emissions will be in the front row said. However, the claim that the issue Demant'ın price is not high: The first electric Opel slightly below the 40 thousand Euro to get a label market. On the other hand, is out on the market in 2011, competitors will also provide opportunities to do something can seem more exciting, and this makes the situation.
