Opel Ampera Price
As the European division of General Motors, Opel is finally ready to take orders for the European versions of Chevrolet Volt, the Opel Ampera.
The electric vehicle equipped with range extender engine has a range of up to 500 km, but can only do 40 to 80 km of that on pure electricity.
It is priced from 36,050 euros in Germany, which is if you include the 19 percent VAT becomes 42,900 euros. The pricing for other European countries may differ than this, due to incentives, and the fact that each country gets a different trim. But that’s the price of it there and there about!
Sales start in the fourth quarter of 2011, but you can now go www.opel-ampera.com to reserve a car and become an ‘ePioneer’, receiving exclusive news and a chance to test drive the electric car.
