AmperaDue for production in 2012, the electrifying 100mph Ampera will be the first-ever, electrically driven car capable of everyday zero emission driving. Thanks to GMs groundbreaking electric propulsion technology, called Voltec, it operates differently from other advanced propulsion systems. The lithium ion battery can be charged from a 240V socket in 3 hours. With 0-60mph acceleration in about 9 seconds, its like driving a fun sports car in silence! Extended Range Electric Vehicle (E-Rev) The Amperas wheels are turned electrically at all times and all speeds. For short trips up to 40 miles, the Ampera runs only on lithium-ion battery power. However, you dont need to worry about range anxiety - as you will not be left stranded by an empty battery. When the batterys energy is depleted, a small efficient combustion engine provides electricity to power the electric drive unit while simultaneously sustaining the charge of the battery. The Ampera is different from a hybrid or plug-in hybrid in that the vehicles wheels are always propelled by an electric drive unit. The Ampera does not use fuel while driving within the 40-mile battery range. Features and Benefits
