Opel Ampera Electric!
Verfasst: 11. Mär 2013 12:31
Hi and welcome.
The "Opel Ampera electric" is one of the most revolutionary electric vehicle currently on the market. This green vehicle is not a hybrid, nor it is a pure E-car.
All the power comes from an Lithium Ion battery that gives the car a freedom to drive about 40 to 80 kilometers on the batteries alone, and so emission free.
When the batteries are going to low, then an in-build power station comes into action, to recharge the batteries.
This range extender gives the car the possibility to drive about 500 kilometers without re-fueling..
The technology that makes this car special is the so called "Voltec " technology system. It's an propulsion system that uses electricity directly to power the wheels of the car. It makes that the car drives at all times and all speeds.
The electric power goes directly to the wheels of the car. It's the most advanced propulsion system on the market. With an extended driving range of 500 kilometers this system gives the car the mobility of any other ordinary combustion engine car. It's a revolutionary technology, an also the technology of the future..
Performances
It can drive between 40 to 80 kilometer emission-free on a battery range and it has an extended range of 500 kilometers powered by an electric engine.
Lightweight materials have been used throughout : such as the clear polycarbonate covers on the front grille and the disk inserts on the 17-inch, five-spoke sport alloy wheels. This also helps to reduce aerodynamic drag in critical airflow areas.
The batteries
: 16 KWH Lithium-Ion batteries . The Opel Ampera can drive 40 to 80 kilometers. That's about 25 to 50 miles on batteries alone..
What when the battery run low? Then a special engine, an on-board power station, that runs on (bio)gasoline comes into action and re-load the battery while driving. So , the car's power comes from an electric engine. Even when the battery is recharging, the cars drives further on his electric powered engine.
With a full tank, the car can drive about 500 kilometers, or 300 miles. s
It's a sophisticated in-build computer system that make all the calculations about how far the car still can drive, and when the range extender has to come in action. This to maintain maximum fuel efficiency.
Also,excess generated electricity does not go to waste, but it's stored in the battery.
The Opel Ampera electric is equipped with regenerative brakes, which means that additional energy captured during braking is converted into electricity and is also stored in the battery pack.
This driving costs even lower and makes that you save a lot in fuel costs.
The Opel Ampera electric can be plugged into any standard 230-volt/16 A household outlet. The charging cable and vehicle plug is always on board in the trunk and the battery takes less than 4 hours to fully recharge.
The battery will continue to store energy from regenerative braking and any unused electricity created during extended-range mode operation. This energy supplements the engine generator to provide peak performance when required.
Once you get to where you're going, the battery can be fully recharged in less than four hours by plugging into any standard household 230-volt outlet .
Electric driving is cost effective . It is estimate that an electrically driven kilometer in the Opel Ampera will cost about one-fifth the price of a kilometer driven in a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle .
It is expected that it will cost about 2 euro cents per kilometer to drive electrically vs. 12 euro cents using gasoline, currently priced at €1.50 per liter. Knowing that a conventional combustion engine uses something of 7 to 9 liters of gasoline par 100 kilometers...
If you drive less than 80 kilometers a day , or 50 miles, then you can safe about 1700 liters of gasoline, or diesel..
If you drive 100 kilometers a day, or 60 miles , you could save 1900 liters of gasoline or diesel oil..
So people who are on the road professionally would have a big advantage driving with this high tech car.. They would save a lot of fuel and money..
The Opel Ampera electric is likely to be charged during off-peak hours in the evening or overnight,or with solar energy.. This would even further reducing the cost of recharging, and driving.
Note: The Opel Ampera Electric car has a twin brother, the Chevy volt, who use the same technology. It's in fact the same car with a different name... Prices of both cars to find here: Electric car prices
