The Ampera-e runs purely on electricity from its 60 kWh battery. Official consumption sits at 14.5 kWh/100 km under the NEFZ cycle with zero tailpipe emissions. Real-world range varies with conditions but the car supports AC Type 2 and DC CCS charging.
Service intervals for European markets are every 30,000 km or one year, whichever comes first, shown on the service display. International markets use 15,000 km or one year. The high-voltage battery needs workshop attention only if required. routine checks cover fluids, brakes and tyres.
Euro NCAP awarded four stars in 2017 with solid adult and pedestrian scores. Standard kit includes full airbags, ABS, ESP with traction control, tyre pressure monitoring, forward collision warning with auto braking and pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, and run-flat tyres. Higher packs add blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts.
Keep the car by following the service schedule and using Opel-approved fluids. Remote climate preconditioning via the app while plugged in reduces battery drain on cold starts. Regular tyre pressure checks and brake fluid changes every two years maintain safety and efficiency.
