Please note this is not for tomorrow, or even the end of the year but the end of 2015
Reports about people "familiar with the matter" and tell us more about the future of the electric sedan with the Range Extender Russelsheim.
If we are to believe the words, the Opel Ampera should not last long in the range of Opel cars. Indeed recurring failure of the model for two years should not push Opel but also the parent company GM to keep the car in the catalog. The Ampera will still vintage 2015, but should not be present since 2016 Some say it's to make way for the next generation of electric sedan that will appear at Chevrolet that year but nothing is on since the it is still not known whether the Chevrolet Volt Mk2 exist in Opel / Vauxhall release or the Chevy version will come to Europe in the same frame import and distribution as Corvette and Camaro.
One thing is certain, after a first correct year 2012, but not explosive, one year 2013 decline (in France in 2013, sales of the Ampera are included in a set of 141 units comprising the Ampera but Movano VP and VP Compa), 2014 is even worse. In Europe, since January 1, only 332 were sold Ampera which represents a sales decline of about 67%.
A front less prepossessing than the Volt, only 4 places with little or no communication, a high for a compact (from € 38,300 excluding bonuses Green) Prices are to the credit of the elements that do not help the electric car on the market despite a technology in the air.
