Opel Ampera E

While GM has been boasting about the Chevy Bolt EV being the first long-range affordable electric car, supplies have been fairly limited. It’s still not clear if the constraints are coming from production or demand since there are decent inventories in ZEV states in the US.

The vehicle is supposed to be coming to Europe this month with the first deliveries in Norway, but despite strong demand, deliveries are reportedly being limited to only a few hundred units by the end of the year.

After a few weeks of talks, GM and the PSA Group, Peugeot-Citroën, have confirmed that the latter will purchase GM’s European business, including Opel/Vauxhall subsidiary and GM Financial’s European operations.

As part of the €2.2 billion ($2.3 billion) transaction, GM will get warrants to purchase shares of PSA and the two automakers will collaborate on “the further deployment of electrification technologies”.

GM has been revealing its rollout plan for the Chevy Bolt EV in more detail over the last few weeks since giving up on the ambitious “50 state availability at launch.” The automaker has now delivered the first few units in California and will move to other states from early to mid-2017.

Now the company has confirmed its plan for the European version of the vehicle, the ‘Opel Ampera E’.
