Opel Ampera-and with autonomy at 400km: the news at the Paris motor show – GreenStyle

The latest philosophy for the electric mobility, which gives great importance to the autonomy of the march, is being addressed by the big players of the sector automotive. Waiting for Tesla ports the debut of the Model 3, before "compact extended range for a mass production in Europe will come, at the most, in the early months of 2018), General Motors reveals the lineup of models called to play a role as a forerunner in the field of electric cars of new generation.

it Is a program of engineering, Overseas, results in the Chevrolet Bolt and, in Europe, the Opel Ampera-e, compact sedan that will be presented at the upcoming Paris motor show, in the programme from Saturday 1 to Sunday 16 October.

The new Opel Ampera-and in the past few weeks have been disclosed to the general content: the car falls in the maxi programme of deep renovation planned Opel and is intended to materialise by 2020. In detail will be well 29 the new models that the brand of Russelsheim will lead to the debut, within four years.

Among these, the new Ampera-and, that considered the technological content that brings you all (: an autonomy declared more than 400 km) is placed half way between the bestseller the Run, and the popular Astra.

Among the electric cars of new generation, according to values on the road communicated from Opel, the new Ampera-and it would give a mileage more than the BMW i3 (which, equipped with the new battery the "optional" from 33 kWh, according to data from NEDC – new european driving cycle, is to reach 300 km range), Nissan Leaf 250 km, Renault Zoe by 240 km and the Volkswagen Golf electric at 190 km.

There is to bet that the "revolution green" in terms of autonomy will increasingly be fought; however, the Opel for the new Ampera-and, despite announcing a range of up to 400 km, anticipates that even in the conditions of employment more "harsh" the car is always capable of providing a mileage of at least 300 km.

From the point of view of the technological content the new Opel Ampera-and that we will see in preview at the Mondial de l’automobile 2016″ is equipped with an electric motor from 204 HP, powered by a “pack” battery (developed in collaboration with the specialist LG Chem) that uses a 288-cell lithium-ion 60 kWh of capacity, arranged in ten modules.

accumulators are, for the needs of habitability and the capacity of the trunk, are placed in the lower part of the frame and have a shape that follows the profile of the vehicle.

Thanks to the possibility of release of the accelerator pedal in ‘Drive’ mode (which allows the recovery of energy from the electric motor so that’s going to take a generator), the batteries can be recharged even during the phases of running: the effect of "brake" of the powertrain increases when the car is passed in the mode "Low" in order to increase the energy recovery. Which can be further optimized through the feature "Regen on Demand".

The maximum speed has been, wisely, limited to 150 km/h (in order not to affect too much on the "values that count", that is, on the overall range of travel). However, they are by pointing out the good values of acceleration declared: 3″2 for the step from 0 to 50 km/h and 4″in 5 seconds (preliminary data) in the recovery from 80 to 120 km/h.
