The Opel Ampera-e Specs reveal a compact, high-efficiency electric vehicle designed for city and highway driving. Produced from September 2017 to January 2021, this hatchback EV combines practicality with advanced battery technology. It features a 58.0 kWh usable battery, achieving a real-world range of 335 km under mild weather conditions, with efficiency rated at 173 Wh/km.
The battery system is a Lithium-ion 62.2 kWh pack, composed of 288 cells in a 96s3p configuration, operating at 400 V. The cathode material is NCM622, providing reliable energy density. This architecture ensures consistent performance and supports both home AC charging and fast DC charging via CCS Combo 2. Home charging reaches 36 km/h (7.4 kW) in about 9 hours and 15 minutes, while fast charging delivers 210 km/h (46 kW max) within 66 minutes. Autocharge is supported, though Plug & Charge is not available.
Performance-wise, the Opel Ampera-e accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 7.3 seconds, with a top speed of 150 km/h. The vehicle delivers 150 kW (204 PS) power and 360 Nm torque, driving the front wheels efficiently. Its long-distance suitability is moderate at 1.5/5, reflecting the balance between range and fast-charging capability for longer trips.
Real-world driving scenarios show a combined range of 385 km in mild weather and 285 km in cold conditions, making it ideal for urban commuting and occasional highway use. The energy consumption varies between 115–247 Wh/km, depending on driving conditions, with zero direct CO2 emissions.
Safety is a strong point for the Ampera-e. Euro NCAP awarded it 82% for adult occupants, 73% for child safety, 75% for vulnerable road users, and 72% for safety assist features in 2017. The vehicle weighs 1,691 kg, has a wheelbase of 2,600 mm, and accommodates five passengers with Isofix child seat anchors for two seats. Cargo capacity ranges from 381 L to 1,274 L, and roof load supports up to 50 kg.
The compact hatchback design sits on the GM BEV2 dedicated EV platform, part of the B-segment, featuring roof rails for additional storage options. With front-wheel drive, practical dimensions, and efficient energy use, the Opel Ampera-e remains a noteworthy choice among early EVs in Europe, particularly in Germany and the Netherlands.
Overall, the Opel Ampera-e Specs highlight a balanced electric vehicle for urban drivers who value efficiency, safety, and flexible charging options. Its combination of battery capacity, real range, and performance makes it a strong competitor in the 2017–2021 EV market.
